i'm not exactly sure how to accomplish this... i'm having problems with my cd-rom, which isn't surprising since it's a slim-line without UDMA and probably isn't supported... but... it's eating up time when i'm booting the system. i've erased the fstab lines for acd0 but it's still probing the hardware when i boot the machine. how do i completely disable probing for this device at startup? if possible i'd like to just remove the device node altogether. every time i remove /dev/acd0 it's just recreated each time i restart. not sure how to permanently remove it without physically removing it from the system. is there anyway to remove the node without removing the iso9660 entry from the kernel?
