udev, atapi cdrw drives and cdrecord

[Alan Chandler <alan@chandlerfamily.org.uk>]

I have a hardware setup which includes two atapi cdrom like drives - /dev/hdc 
is a cd rewriter (or cd recorder) and /dev/hdd is a dvd drive.

I am running a 2.6 kernel (2.6.7-k7-1) which is supposed to automatically 
include ide-scsi without the need to load a module.

I have set up udev to create /dev/hdc and also a symlink /dev/cdrw to point to 
it.

I am trying to use cdrecord to make a cd.  But it seemingly hangs (forever).  
It outputs the information below and then suspends (and ctrl C does not kill 
it).

alan@kanger debcd $ cdrecord -eject speed=12 dev=/dev/cdrw 
sarge-i386-netinst.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent 
defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

I am not sure what to do to find out what is wrong.  Any ideas?
