Well it don't work ... the writer drive is hdd and I put hdd=scsi in the kernel line, and hdd dissapeared, but /dev/scd0 did not appear :(



hmm... ok.  

Check to see if the ide-scsi kernel module is loaded.  Maybe it is not loading automatically.

/sbin/lsmod |grep "ide-scsi"

if not,

modprobe ide-scsi

If that brings up /dev/scd0  and it solves your burning problems, then we just need to make it autoload.

You can also check the status of the scsi system by ls /proc/scsi

Hmmm ... it partly works (/dev/scd0 appears), but I get a hard system crash while trying to burn anything like that. Well I suppose it doesn't matter, burning at 4x is not that bad.

Something is very strange with that drive.

hdc=scsi
I believe it's hdc=ide-scsi

I didn't even know that until I noticed it written on my desk today (I really should get some post-it note things) - I used to need it ages ago, think I wrote it down when I gave Gentoo a try.

I found it, now I know how to burn a CD properly (I found it earlier, but today I got a chance to test it burning FreeSBIE), I used the ps command to find out how nautilus cd burner did it and used it myself.

Code: [Select]
cdrecord fs=16m speed=4 dev=/dev/hdd -dao driveropts=burnfree -v -data -nopad /path/file.iso
I wonder which one of the extra options did it, I don't see why there have to be so many just to burn a CD properly ... growisofs work great for DVDs with much simpler options

Interesting to see that others have had this problem too. In FreeBSD, the cdrecord/mkisofs/etc have had problems in the past detecting the proper speeds of my DVD burner. I had to pass command line arguments to mkisofs via k3b's advanced settings to get burning to work properly.

Like linux, in FreeBSD ATAPI > SCSI emulation is required to burn CD's, only it's looks like it's much simpler to get working. You just load the 'cam' kernel module and go.
