I am new in Linux.
I have an external Sony DVD writer connected via ieee1394.
When my knoppix boots up, it does not recognise the device. I read a number of articles in this forum and find the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. I ran the script and then run 'cdrecord -scanbus'. The DVD writer showed up (it was not there before running rescan-scsi-bus.sh).
According to various articles on this forum, the next thing I should do is to mount the device using command lines:
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
However, I have already got a 'sda1' directory under /mnt and an external USB hard drive has been mounted on it.
My question is: what command line(s) that I should issue in order to mount the DVD writer?
Many thanks!
