Hi, I know I should know better. Please do not flame me. Well, I did a good 1st make release on my little stable (cvsupped 07/08/2000) machine. I have disc[12] under cdrom. Everything looks fine. But .... (there is always a but) Does anyone have a 'burn the CD' cookbook? This is what I have so far (pretty obvious); of course, the same applies to disc2. 1) mkisofs -o disc1.iso -R -J disc1 - create a filesystem with RockRidge and Joliet extensions 2) cdrecord -v speed=s4 dev=something disc1.iso However, I have a few doubts: 1) What sort of device should I use? cdrecord -scanbus is not returning anything. I am trying to use an ATAPI recorder but I do not know what to use. Besides, what should I use for my cdrom reader? Trying /dev/acd0c for my recorder returns -- Cdrecord 1.9 (i386-unknown-freebsd4.1) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. --- I am running it as root.

I could use burncd but I am bugged by the fact that I can't use cdrecord. :) The devices are a Sony CRX100 CDR and a Plextor Ultraplex 40max CDRom. 2) How do I make it a full-fledged FreeBSD bootable distribution CDRom? I mean, where do I get the el-torrito boot image? How do I make it use it and then run sysinstall seamlessly? Just like a disc1 from distribution. Well, FreeBSD distribution won't be comming to town anytime soon and I only have a 33.6K connection to the internet; therefore, this would really prove handy while I wait. Can I try the /boot/cdboot stuff or the floppies/boot.flp as a boot image? 3) Any tips to make it a complete distribution CDRom are welcome.
