Hi,

I am having some trouble with my Aopen CDROM and HP 7200i CD-RW.. When I
try to make an exact copy of a cd using:

dd if=/dev/acd0c of=cd.img and
dd if=/dev/acd1c of=cd.img

It gives the error: 'dd: /dev/acd0c: Bad Address' and
it gives the error: 'dd: /dev/acd1c: Bad Address'

It's no hardware failure! The same thing happens on another system of
mine, also running FreeBSD 4.1.. (Also a K6!?)

When I run:

'wormcontrol prepdisk double' or 'wormcontrol prepdisk single'
having done 'ln -s /dev/acd0c /dev/rworm0'
It gives the error:

'wormcontrol: ioctl(WORMIOCPREPDISK): Inappropriate ioctl for device'

On FreeBSD 3.3 it used to work, just as with the dd command..

Does anybody know what this is, and how I can solve it? (maybe use other
devices, add options to the kernel, etc, etc)

BTW, I am not on this list, but I do keep track of
lists.openresources.com..

Any help will be appreciated!

Best regards,
Ewout Vonk
