CDrecord "DEVICE"
I have the following instructions from
http://www.astaro.com/doc/burn-howto_en.html
The most efficient and easiest way is to type the following command:
cdrecord -v dev=DEVICE fs=4096k -eject -pad -useinfo -dao -data
Astaro_Security_Linux_ISO_IMAGE
(or easier: cdrecord -v dev=DEVICE -data
Astaro_Security_Linux_ISO_IMAGE)
You get the correct substitute for DEVICE by typing cdrecord -scanbus.

-?- How do I burn a CD from Linux/UNIX?
-!- Use the cdrecord program, with a command line like this (as root):
nice --18 cdrecord -eject -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0 -data -pad
binary-i386-1.iso
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Man pages have only confused me:
The device refers to scsibus/target/lun of the CD-Recorder.
Communication on SunOS is done with the SCSI general driver
scg. Other operating systems are using a library simulation
of this driver. Possible syntax is: dev=
scsibus,target,lun or dev= target,lun. In the latter case,
the CD-Recorder has to be connected to the default SCSI bus
of the machine. Scsibus, target and lun are integer
numbers. Some operating systems or SCSI transport implemen-
tations may require to specify a filename in addition. In
this case the corect syntax for the device is: dev=
devicename:scsibus,target, or dev= devicename:target,lun.
If the name of the device node that has been specified on
such a system referres to exactly one SCSI device, a short-
hand in the form dev= devicename:@ or dev= devicename:@,lun
may be used instead of dev= devicename:scsibus,target,
To make cdrecord portable to all UNIX platforms, the syntax
dev= devicename:scsibus,target, is preferred as is hides OS
specific knowledge about device names from the user. A
specific OS must not necessarily support a way to specify a
real device file name nor a way to specify
scsibus,target,lun.
Scsibus 0 is the default SCSI bus on the machine. Watch the
boot messages for more information or look into
/var/adm/messages for more information about the SCSI confi-
guration of your machine. If you have problems to figure
out what values for scsibus,target,lun should be used, try
the -scanbus option of cdrecord described below.
If a file /etc/default/cdrecord exists, the parameter to the
dev= option may also be a drive name label in said file (see
FILES section)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem is cdrecord -scanbus gives me:
Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
No such file or directory. Can not open SCSI driver.
for possiable targets try "cdrecord -scanbus"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Burner is only cd in the box, hp 9150i (ide), was used to install
potato, can read cd's just fine. I am still downloading the last iso I
want to burn. I just want to have the info ready to try the burn when
it's finished.
TIA,
Sam Morgan
