I use device cd0c and mount it using mount_cd9660 and it works perfectly. However, I can't for the life of me get it to write CDs. What happens when I try usi ng CDRecord 1.6.1 is it ALWAYS says "SCSI Device not configured". > I have no idea how to get past this. I couldn't figure out how to use a worm or rcd device either. I did happen to find a web page that had a lot of information about writing CDs with cdrecord on freebsd and even mentioned my exact CDr... but i could no t get it to work following his directions. I just keep getting the same "SCSI Device Not Configured" message... the web page is: http://www.best.com/~spadger/CDR-main.html > > If anyone could PLEASE help me out here I will be forever grateful. I've been trying to get this to work for months with no avail. I've read all the manpages and web pages i could find. I asked in #freebsd and #linux on IRC and checked the www.freeb sd.org website... None of this has any mention of my problem. > If you could please write me back soon I would grately appreciate it. Thank you for your time. Please tell your mailer software to trim lines to 70 characters or so? I'm having no trouble using cdrecord on freebsd 3.1, the scsi systems have changed radically and you may want to upgrade. I note that you have a 1542C, and i'm unsure if that is supported, you may want to make sure freebsd supports it if you choose to upgrade. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
