[ros-kernel] CD Rom Drive Support Questions + cdrom.sys bug info

[Philip Alldredge]

I was wondering if there was a way to access a cd from
the prompt, to copy files from a cd to a reactos
machine. I thought that there would be a way because
the installer can apparently copy files but typing in
d: at the prompt doesn't work. If it hasn't been
implemented then what is needed? If it is, how do I do
it? If it hasn't, is anyone currently working on it?
If not I may see if I can do something productive in
that area. Thanks

Also last release I tried to install reactos on a
older computer. Normally, I just use bochs since I
don't want to damage my important computer. But the
booting of the installer hung on loading cdrom.sys. I
compiled the source from CVS and the bug was stil
there. I did find out by swapping the CD rom drive
that the bug only occurs on certain CD-Rom drives. It
seems to happen on the older ones to me(I don't have
any problem booting the installer using the computer
with a DVD Burner). I hope this helps a little bit. I
probably should be posting this second part in
bugzilla though.
