tlug: Debian installation - scsi problem

[ulrike@example.com]

New question before I even could try out the answer to my previous one (thanks 
Selva!): 

I am currently at work trying to install (for the first time) Debian 2.1 on a 
Fujitsu FMV-590DE which seems to have a scsi CDROM, Adaptec, AHA-2940. I 
selected the modules for cdrom and sg - generic scsi-port, but I cannot mount 
the CDROM. Maybe something is wrong with my mounting attempts, I get "special 
device /dev/dcrom does not exist" or "the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 
as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?)" I tried other scsi modules but 
either the installation was unsuccessful or nothing happened for 5 minutes 
after which I pressed reset.

Also when booting I get a warning about scsi: "detected auto-termination ...", 
and am told to make sure the settings  are properly set, but once again I don't 
know what the proper settings are. The Adaptec menu for "Host Adapter SCSI 
Termination" gives three options: automatic, enabled, disabled. Which is the 
correct setting? 

TIA, Uli
