- We have a 030 cube with an OD drive running NeXTstep 2.1. One of these
- days when I needed to reboot the machine, the cube didn't recognize the
- OD, telling something from unexpected signals. The machine was not able
- to boot until we disconnected the OD power plug. The current situation
- is like this: When booting, in verbose report mode, it says:
-
- odc0 at .....
- od0 at odc0 slave 0
- od1 at odc1 slave 1
- :
- :
-
- The cube then boots without problems, but the OD can't be accessed. There
- is still an optical disc inside the drive, ejecting it with disk -e /dev/rod0a
- doesn't work.
-
- When having the OD connected, boot process finally breaks very late with the
- following message:
-
- panic: (Cpu 0) od: empty q
- panic>
-
- So I have two questions:
-
- 1. How do I eject the optical disc that is stuck right now?
-
- 2. What do I do connect my OD to the machine again?
-
- Thanks for any help,
-
