Disk Drive Support?
-
So, you know how when you plug a USB into a Raspberry Pi and the roms on the USB download to the Raspberry Pi automatically? I was wondering if it necessarily had to be a USB for it to download onto it. For example, could I burn a rom to a disk, then set up a disk drive for the Raspberry Pi, and if it inserted the disk, would it install? Think of it to something similar to a console nowadays, where you insert a disk and it starts installing.

@Caustra What do you mean by "Disk Drive" ? a Harddisk or ? That would also be a USB connected device so it would be the same.

@Caustra if you are talking about dvd rom drives and stuff then you would at the minimum mount the drive. You need to mount a dvd drive everytime you put a disk in it. To have it mount on startup you need to put a command in startup to do so. You need to open /media/ and add a folder called cdrom. Then you need to tell the system to mount sr0 to that folder. I can tell you how to do all that but because it does not show up as a usb i dont think it will work.
