Hi

I'm having problems with the instructions on the web site [1] that are
based on messages sent to this list [2].

The workaround suggests that I should:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/check_media
  ... which will change the value from 1 to 0

However /proc/sys/dev/cdrom does not exist, the only directory in
/proc/sys/dev is mac_hid so I can't edit the value in check_media.

Has anyone got any suggestions about how to get around this?

Thanks

Chris
