README for SME-5 users 01/25/2002 """""""""""""""""""""" If you plan to backup to CD then you need to make sure your kernel can detect and access your CD writer. Type 'cdrecord -scanbus'. If your CD writer is not listed in the output, and if it is an IDE drive, then you should find out which device it is - /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc. - and add an entry to /etc/lilo.conf, something like this:- append="hdX=ide-scsi" Replace hdX with your CD writer's device (mine is hdb). Then run 'lilo' and reboot. You will have to type 'insmod sg st ide-scsi ide-cd' after rebooting, if the kernel does not detect and configure the CD writer for you. You may now backup your whole system. Type:- # mondo-archive See the manual for more information.
