Having given up on the idea of installing Caldera OpenLinux 1.3 from my
parallel port Freecom IQ CD-RW, I came up with a new idea. Install using
a different method then configure the CD-rom. According to the manual,
Freecom parallel port CD-rom drives are supported by the 2.0.35 kernel. It
states that the drive must be initialised with power-cd.sys in DOS first,
then boot to linux. The module needed is pwcd. Below is the output when I
tried this by booting with loadlin (but didn't know how to load
power-cd.sys first...):
insmod paride
paride: version 1.02 installed
insmod frpw
paride: frpw registered as protocol 0
insmod pcd
pcd: pcd version 1.03s, major 46, nice 0
pcd0: autoprobe failed
pcd: no CDrom drive found
initialisation of pcd failed
insmod pwcd
pwcd: autoprobe failed
initialisation of pwcd failed
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong + how to load the driver before
booting to linux?
