If the media is not in it when I boot, i cannot mount the disk as I get this error: # mount /dev/sd2a /mnt /dev/sd2a on /mnt: Incorrect super block. the boot up gives this for the device: (bt0:4:0): "Ten X OCU-300S 3.03" type 0 removable SCSI 2 sd2(bt0:4:0): Direct-Access sd2(bt0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,0 sd2(bt0:4:0): Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable sd2 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry sd2(bt0:4:0): NOT READY asc:4,0 sd2(bt0:4:0): Logical unit not ready, cause not reportable sd2: could not get size 0MB (0 512 byte sectors) I'm not sure how to get it to mount other than to have the media in the drive which is inconvenient at times. I am running 2.1 CD release. Andrew
