Re: Setting-up CDRW
hello.
i suppose that your scsi/emulation stuff is not set up correctly. have you
really loaded all neccessary modules (have a look again at the cdwriting
howto section 2.1.3; -> ide-cd,ide-scsi,scsi_mod,sr_mod,sg)? if that is
the case cdrecord -scanbus should definitely work (it has nothing to do
with your fstab stuff).
