Can see dvd drive in Chameleon boot menu
« on: January 31, 2011, 02:14:20 PM »
How do I get my PATA DVD drive to show up in the boot list?

I tried adding Rescan=yes in the com.apple.boot.pliist but that didn't help.

Does Chameleon support IDE DVD drives?

Suggestions are welcome,

Chameleon see DVD only if start from DVD  :-[
This question is interesting for me too but till now I have no answer.
If we look here
Code: [Select]
if (biosDevIsCDROM(gBIOSDev))then gBIOSDev == 0x80 when booting from HDD.
In this case I see a response from CD if gBIOSDev == 0. Like floppy. Dunno if it is related to my notebook that never has floppy.
Booting from DVD I see
0x80 == DVD
0x81 == HDD

Hope some developer make some new tests to get information about BIOS device number for DVD in these two cases.
