Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Could someone post what their buddha_atapi.device entry looks like in devs:mountlist? thanks.

Dont have a buddha myself,but if your CDROM is connected as a slave behind your harddisk, then the following should be in the CD0 mountlist:

device="buddha_atapi.device"
unit=1

If it still doesn't mount the device, there's a utility that comes with the buddha install disk called FindDevice.
Try to run that, to see if it finds the CDROM.

By the way, did anyone know that XP can't format 720k floppy disks?

This was already discussed on amiga.org. See this thread.

Does it act like this with all CDs you try to load?

Maybe you can try to set your harddisk as master and CDROM as a slave and edit the CD0 mountfile (change unit number to 1) and see if this helps.

Edit: Or you could try to set it up as a master on the second IDE port and change the unit number to 2 in the CD0 mountfile.

never mind (must get my glasses again)

BTW did you install the buddha software before or after you added the cdrom to your system. If you installed it before adding the cdrom, the mountfile may not have been installed correctly. In that case, try to reinstall the software.
