Hi,

sorry for once again asking here, but after much searching I failed to
find any help on this anywhere else again.

I am able to burn CD-Rs with burncd, but now need to make a copy of an
existing CD. What is the easiest way to simply create an image of the
disc?

I have tried the following:
[sdt]# dd if=/dev/acd1c of=image.raw
dd: /dev/acd1c: Bad address
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

but as you see this didn't work.

I would like to avoid using mkisofs on the directory structure, ideally
I'd like to be able to create images of bootable CDs etc.

Thanks again in advance,
