I've got the whole mkisofs part figured out. It's not really that hard. Where I'm having trouble is getting cdrecord to actually talk to the cd writer. I tried "cdrecord -dummp -v speed=1 dev=0,0 cd.iso" which complains: cdrecord: Bad file descriptor. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. "cdrecord -scanbus" run as root yields the exact same error message. dmesg output relevent to this device: ahc0: port 0x9400-0x94ff mem 0xe2800000-0xe2800fff irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0 aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs [...] cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers The device appears to be working properly, since I can throw in a read-only CD and mount it thus: "mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt" and read things just fine. I've got the funny feeling I'm missing a step or something. Any advice is welcome. TIA, Bill -- "Where's the robot to pat you on the back?"
