It'll be the first device on the scsi bus. (Assuming that you don't have other scsi devices) It'll be somewhere in /dev/scsi/. Can't remember it anymore, since I've switched to atapi writing. > Do I need to make any changes at all in /etc/devfsd.conf to make this > work? There's a section in the default devfsd.conf which creates the /dev/cdrw symlink for the first device in the scsi bus. Uncomment it and edit it do your needs. (You might, for example switch it to /dev/dvdrw for sake of clarity) You should, of course also edit the relevant line in fstab. If you have two devices in the scsi bus (e.g. a dvd-rw and a cd-rw drive) you can just copy and paste the /dev/cdrw section in devfsd.conf and edit it for the second drive. (The syntax should be fairly straightforward) You might also consider editing the sections which create the /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd symlinks to point to the right drives in the scsi bus. That way apps like mplayer or ogle will find the devices without any extra options. -- Jani-Matti H�tinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
