I found today that I don't have a scsi driver on my Jessie install. I search for 'scsi' in aptitude and see several competing packages. Which one is most likely to enable burning a new debian netinst CD today or tomorrow? I need to reinstall Jessie on a different host before this one crashes. I'm running xfce4 and xorg. To my knowledge, othing exotic. But always willing to answer questions about obivious essential details that I have left out. TIA
Drivers are part of the kernel. If you have a SCSI device, the hardware detection should find it and load the appropriate driver. If you don't have a SCSI device, it may not load the low level driver.
I gather your problem is that you want to burn a CD using a SCSI writer (where did you find one?). If that is the case, what errors are you getting?
If you're just trying to burn a netinst CD with SCSI packages, don't worry about it. Just burn a normal netinst CD. It will download the packages and drivers it needs.
