Hey Michael, |

I am thinking that /dev/sda3 would mean you are looking to utilize |
4 |
"s"CSI "d"evice "a", partition "3". |
5 |
|
6 |
From my experience with hard drives, the first SCSI device is usually |
7 |
mounted on /dev/sda, the second on /dev/sdb, etc. |
8 |
|
9 |
Not sure if this tangent I am going off on is logical...but I am |
10 |
thinking that SCSI cd rom on bus ID 3, would equate to |
11 |
/dev/sdc...maybe? Or if it is the only SCSI device on the system, it |
12 |
might just be /dev/sda. |
13 |
|
14 |
Hope this helps. I have no hardware to test my hypothesis, sorry. |
15 |

Good luck, |
