I have a guested SuSE Linux lpar on a V5R4 i5/os lpar. I want to use the
DVD drive on the Linux lpar. How?

Tried calling IBM support and after being on the phone for 45 minutes
talking to a series of people who went into great detail about finding out
the kernel, etc, are only going to send me a rtfm link (soon as they find
one). They also didn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer.
