Getting CD-ROM Device Numbers

Getting CD-ROM Device Numbers

If you are planning a miniroot installation from the local CD-ROM drive on the target, you must be prepared to specify the controller and unit number of the drive during the installation. Use this command to determine the controller and unit number:

# hinv

Look for a line like the one below in the output of hinv. The numbers that you need appear in parentheses beside the scsi and cdrom fields:

SCSI CDROM: scsi (0) cdrom (4)

In the previous example, the controller number is 0 and the unit number is 4.
