Hi,
my system (AMD K6/2, 64MB, Matrox Productiva) has an IDE-harddisk and a
SCSI-cdrom. QNX installed fine (from cdrom to a win98 partition), but I
just can’t access the cdrom when I boot QNX. It’s connected to a
Symbios-Controller (ncr810-type).
The QNX-Website says that the ncr810 is supported, but in /dev/ there’s
nothing that looks like a cdrom-device.
Bye,
Robert
On my system with EIDE-HDD and SCSI-cdrom on an Adaptec 2940, after
booting I do the following (as root)
/sbin/devb-aha8
mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cd0

Hallo,
The driver for ncr Controllers is
/sbin/devb-ncr8.

Hi,
thanks to Ray and Roland for their answers, but it doesn’t work with my
system.
First I tried ‘/sbin/devb-ncr8’ but it wouldn’t work. Then I looked into
my BIOS-settings (again…) and changed what I had overlooked to:
‘PnP-aware OS: yes’
The ncr8-driver will work now - once. It detects my CDROM-device and
shows its name and lun. The entry ‘/dev/cd0’ is created.
‘mount -tcd /dev/cd0 /fs/cd0’ doesn’t succeed. I also tried ‘mount -rv
-t cd /dev/cd0 /fs/cd0’. It says:
Parsed: mount from [/dev/cd0] mount on [/fs/cd0] type [cd]
Failed with external mounts, trying internal mount
The only effect is, that ‘ls’ shows ‘cd0’ while ‘ls -l’ shows:
ls: No such device or address (./cd0)
After ‘umount /dev/cd0’, ‘ls’ doesn’t show ‘cd0’ anymore.
When I try to invoke the ncr8-drive a second time, I will get:
‘No ncr8 interfaces found’
‘/sbin/devb-ncr8 cdrom &’ seems to be the same thing.
Is there anyone who can help?
Bye,
Robert
Hi,
thank you for your advice, but I’m now able to access my CDROM. The CD
has to be inserted after the mount command.

Maybe this would have helped too.
In Linux (and other Unix-flavours) one could only mount an already
inserted CD. QNX is different: Once the /sbin/devb-ncr8 and the mount
command are invoked, QNX does a good job in automounting the disks.
Didn’t know that, sorry. It would be fine, if this was mentioned
somewhere in the Online-Help and in the QNX-Knowledge-Base.
Bye,
Robert
