[H-GEN] redhat install

[Paul Gearon]

Yes I finally took the plunge...  I've scrapped Solaris and I'm 
installing redhat 4.2.  Or rather I'm trying to.

I barely get into the installation when I'm asked for the type of CD 
drive that I'm using.  

Well I'm using a SCSI CD-ROM on an Adaptec AHA-2940 adapter.  The CD 
is on SCSI ID 6.  So I answer SCSI, give my adapter type, and say 
that the program should probe to find the drive (as I don't know the 
setup parameters which are in the other option).

After probing for a short while (the CD lights up briefly in this 
time) I get an error from "mount" saying that I have an invalid 
parameter.  When I press OK I get a more intelligible message saying 
that it can't find a CD on /dev/scd0.

Since this seems to me that it wants to find the SCSI CD on id #0, 
and I don't want to change it from #6, is there any way I can install 
redhat from CD?

TIA,
Paul

P.S.  Be gentle with me... I'm Linux illiterate   :o)
