cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SC=
SI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are r=
oot.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=3Dhelp'.

(I've been playing around with udev, which should explain the lack of
/dev/pg*)

One cool thing is that you can now just specify the device file for
the cd drive, instead of having to scanbus and choose something like
0,5,0.

Consider the following lines from my ~/bin/backup as an example:


mkisofs -r -J -l -o ${TMPDIR}/backup.iso -C \
   `cdrecord -msinfo dev=3D/dev/cdroms/cdrom0` \
   -M /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 $BACKUP_FILE $BACKUP_ETC

cdrecord -v -multi speed=3D8 dev=3D/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -data ${TMPDIR}/backu=
p.iso

(Once again, udev with the devfs naming scheme should explain the
device file names, you can just use /dev/hdc - assuming that's where
your device file is)
