CentOS 7: Cannot boot from CD drive
by Rich Strebendt from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53P36)
I recently tried to reboot from a CD/DVD. A message flashed on the screen VERY briefly indicating that (if I understood the split second message) the driver for the CD/DVD drive could not be found. The boot continued with the version of CentOS on the hard drive.
Someone told me that support for booting from a CD has been suppressed for Linux Servers for security reasons. This Linux WORKSTATION is on my desk at home, so I would like to be able to boot from the CD drive for such things as running a System Repair disk or test driving a Live CD. Eventually I plan also to upgrade to CentoOS 8.
What do I need to do to get a functional CD boot capability back?
