hi all, All I want is to be able to write some ISO 9660 Disk image to an empty "write Once" CD, on the HP-8100 CD Drive. I have reached the point of MADDNESS, so listen to my story. I believed I could use cdrecord for that, but I could not figure out the device to feed , it needs somthing like dev=0,6,0 or dev=2,0 to be able to get the scsi bus number , target number, and lun number, after sweating there for sometime to try to get the device name correct, I finally realize that cdrecord is for SCSI drives ONLY. so, looking for an allternative, I went to this list, and some people recommended 'wormcontrol' actuall there's a couple of scripts in: /usr/share/examples/atapi, and /usr/share/examples/worm unfortunately they don't work. the problem is they are searching for /dev/rworm0 device, and I tried to use sh /dev/MAKEDEV worm0 or worm1 or rworm0 or rworm1, but the MAKEDEV can't create them, only a commented line: 'worm* WORM DEVICE' is there in the MAKEDEV. so I went to man worm, man wormcontrol, and they indicate that worm device has been removed since FreeBSD-3.0, and functionatlity replaced by CAM scsi driver. going back to kernel configuration looking there, there is 'controller scsi0' and 'device cd0' and 'pass0' trying to MAKEDEV cd0 passes ok and cd0a and cd0c are created. NOW, what can I give the wormcontrol, or cdrecord, or whatever program, the device name ?? I tried everything. acd0a, acd0c, cd0a, cd0c, rcd0a, rcd0c I have even symlinked them to worm0, rworm0 and tried all possible combination. Please ANYONE succeeded to burn on IDE cdrom drive please give me an email, this is very frustrating, as the FreeBSD, changes from worm device to cam scsi and man page mention future releases will have no worm device, but will incorporate through the cam device, so I am currently lost. Mentioning that the CD is my only way of backing up my system, you can realize how critical it is to me, and may be others to get to the BOTTOM of this and make it work. ANY feedback on this is VERY WELCOME. thanks in advance. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
