I'm guessing you're asking how to write a CDs. A regular CD-ROM will not work. You need a cd-writter (cd-burner, cd-rewriter,...) AFAIK, under FreeBSD 4.0, to burn a cd, you don't jsut write to the device. You need special software. This software is also dependant on the architecture of the CD burner. I've had good luck with an HP IDE cd-rom: acd0: CD-RW <Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8200a> at ata1-master using PIO4 which uses the FreeBSD included program 'burncd'. And a SCSI burner: cd0: <YAMAHA CRW4260 1.0h> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device which uses 'cdrecord' to burn. 'cdrecord' is part of the ports. --Mat > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
