Here's how I burn CD's with Debian 2.1 on an HP 6020:
cat index | xargs cdrecord -v speed=2 -audio dev=4,0
The dev line is "dev=<scsi_id, lun>", I believe. You can "look" for your
drive with:
cdrecord dev=4,0 -checkdrive
Don't let the "-audio" throw you - it works the same for data.
I don't know if there's a way to use the "sg" devices or not with the
current cdrecord - I've always done it this way.
Later,
Dale
