Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 :-) - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
