But, when I did the rm I did a "rm /dev/cdrom /dev/scd1" which also removed scd1. Now, since scd1 is not an actual physical piece of hardware, how do I restore scd1???
do a "ls -l /dev/scd*" and you should get sth like this: brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Jul 29 2000 /dev/scd0 brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 1 Jul 29 2000 /dev/scd1 brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 10 Jul 29 2000 /dev/scd10 brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 11 Jul 29 2000 /dev/scd11 brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 12 Jul 29 2000 /dev/scd12 usw... ...well, your scd1 will be missing, of course... check if the major/minor numbers are the same on your machine... in my case, I would use a "mknod /dev/scd1 b 11 1" to create scd1. Just make sure to use the right major number and the missing minor number... Johannes
