That drive was CD-RW, ATAPI, that computer has ATA but no SATA. Does growisofs work on CDRs or only DVDs? If 'cdrecord -scanbus' doesn't work at all, how do I get the "SCSI device" n:n:n? Use camcontrol? I see both FreeBSD and NetBSD have makefs (which can make a UFS/FFS or iso file system, taking the place of mkisofs in cdrtools. But NetBSD has no CD or DVD burner in the base system. I could also try to build cdrkit and see if that works. Tom
