Well - I've been tangentially following the little bit of cdrecord-related
info that seems to come around every now-and-then...
Anyway - I've actually got an HP 6020i that I'd like to try and write
with...
The consensus seems to be to use cdrecord - from the ports collection...
But - when I try it out - with:
cdrecord -dev=4,0 -checkdrive
I get the following:
Cdrecord release 1.6 Copyright (C) 1995-1998 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: '4,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 4 lun: 0
cdrecord: Cannot do inquiry for CD-Recorder.
cdrecord: Undefined error: 0. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: fatal error
CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00
cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s
A quick strings of the executable - I see a reference to /dev/scgx, which
is a symbolic link:
scgx@ -> /dev/rworm0.ctl
Now - here's the confusing part (to me, anyway) - I thought cdrecord
didn't go through the worm driver... So, you wouldn't need a kernel
with a worm device in it... Am I wrong?
I've looked through the handbook; and "The Complete FreeBSD" - and
see not to much about writing CD-ROMs.. I'm betting someone's got
a "cookbook" and how to do it; if so, could you point me to it?
If there isn't a "cookbook" - there will be one soon :-)
