Important notice for ATAPI support on FreeBSD:
A long time it was not possible to decently write CD's using ATAPI drives
on FreeBSD because ATAPI was not supported in an orthogonal way on FreeBSD.
These days (in the mid of november 2001) first ATAPI support for FreeBSD is
available as patch. Please read:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=136602+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-current/20011111.freebsd-current
and get the FreeBSD kernel patch from:
http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/
Thanks to Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for the patch.
We tested the patch with a collegue today (23.11.2001), here is the result:
- It compiles with FreeBSD current (5.0) but does not boot so get 4.x
if you like to test. I hope that Thomas Quinot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and Kenneth D. Merry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> will help to make it work with
FreeBSD current soon.
- It does not run the SCSI commands in silent mode so the ATAPI low level
code prints unwanted kernel messages when you start cdrecord.
- cdrecord runs without problems so far it has been tested!
You need to apply the patch, change your kernel configuration to include
options ATAPICAM
and then recompile install and boot the new kernel.
Make enough /dev/pass* devices and start testing.....
