Dear alphists,
I' knocking agains on knowledge doors for asking help on new (5.0)
device managing.
In old 4.0d I had a device called /dev/gd0* which was connected to a CD
masterizer. It was made in /sys/conf/HOSTNAME with the following lines:
bus pci0 at mcbus0 slot 4
bus psiop1 at pci0 slot 3 vector psiopintr
controller scsi2 at psiop1 slot 0
device disk gd0 at scsi2 drive 020
Now under T64 v5.0 (new installation, no update!) the CDROM is seen as
/dev/disk/cdrom1 BUT there are no more /dev/gd0* !!
UNFORTUNATELY I have a software package (GEAR for mastering CDs) which
needs the old "legacy" device /dev/gd0* and which worked properly under
4.0d but NO on new 5.0
I tried to
ln -s /dev/disk/cdrom1a /dev/gd0a
ln -s /dev/disk/cdrom1c /dev/gd0c
but it did'nt work.
I then tried to add the above configuration lines to the v5.0
/sys/con/HOSTNAME but I got errors doing doconfig.
I guess I have to manage the problem with the new v5.0 hwmgr and dsfmgr
commands BUT I don't understand how.
Any help will be very apreciated!
Emanuele
P.S. Here follow the outputs I get now on T64 v5.0
