first, and totally off-topic, there's an updated version of my yum tutorial online at http://www.kwlug.org/download.php if you're interested. most of the blanks have been filled in; feedback always appreciated. (it's still not finalized, but it's getting there.)
second, i'm running FC3 (well, FC2 with absolutely everything updated to FC3) on my inspiron 8100, and i'd like to set it up to access the ATAPI CD-RW drive (/dev/hdb) without the historical SCSI emulation.
at the moment, working with kernel 2.6.0-test8, after i boot, there's no record of a CD-ROM drive, so i'm thinking i've somehow messed up converting over from the SCSI emulation to not needing it.
that is, i should be able to run things like
# cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb ...
and so on. i'm about to go over all my config file settings and kernel options again to see what i missed, but is there a short recipe for what's necessary?

What does a 'cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus' yield for the CD-ROM device number? Suppose it yields device 0,0,0. You then burn to it with 'cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 .......'
This does NOT work if ide-scsi emulation is loaded.
How do I do to install the rawhide x86_64 tree on an opteron?
I can't seem to find any boot-images on the x86_64 tree? Would it be possible to use the i386-fedora distribution when installing, and then upgrading to the x86_64 tree under rawhide?
Thanks,

The BIG missing piece right now is the kernel...

There really is not easy way to do the install, I started with a taroon install, then installed and massaged onto a seperate partition to get my working fedora environment. Hopefully this will all be fixed soon though, I have been keeping my isos up to date, and with the package freeze I will start talking to Red Hat about the trademark issues, mirrors, updates, etc for the AMD64 isos. I should have more details later this week.
