I have installed FC3, and I´m now sitting with a system that only allows booting to init 3, since the automatically generated xorg.conf file obviously contains rubbish somewhere in it. That, I´m used to, from previous installations from scratch with this system.
However, the udev feature strikes me out in this case. I haven´t got a clue as to how to get access to my DVD-ROM drive, so I can get hold of a working xorg.conf file from my backup.
I haven´t been able to find any help on this in the fedora-list archives. Can anyone give me a hint?
I have not tried access CD-ROM in init 3 mode. So this information may be not correct. udev should auto mount your cdrom under /media/cdrom/
if not you can alway mount it yourself as root cd /media/ mdkir cdrom mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom
All right, that helped me as far as my DVD+RW drive on hdc goes. There was an entry for /dev/hdc already. I´m still lost on what I have to do to get in contact with my SCSI DVD-ROM drive. Even though it was the drive the installation media was run from, the system seems not to know anything about it. In previous installations on the same system, the drive was to be found at /dev/sr1, but searching for /dev/sr* gives me nothing.
Thank you for your answer. At least now I can get at my files from the backup.
Best regards, David List
