hardware browser and mounting scsi cdroms

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

I tried that command and it only shows my 2 working scsi hard drives. I
have a dvd rom drive and a dvd-rw drive both of which are recognized by
my system but do not show up under the " /sbin/fdisk -l"  command. I
have a few issues with scsi on my current workstation, which is why I
tried this.  I have one scsi hd in my tower and 2 in an external scsi
box. I believe the first one in the external enclosure (should have been
and was /dev/sdb) died that is why I currently run Gentoo. I had been
running Suse when the first drive in the external box failed. Therefore,
I'm only using the 2 hd's for now. Additionally, I have a CD-RW (Yahama)
with an Acard atapi2scsi adapter that is not recognized as well. Funny
thing is that this is the drive I used to install Gentoo from.
Is there another option switch that will show all drives using that command?
