As root, you can run the following command to get the SCSI address of the burner: # camcontrol devlist This didnt work for me last time I tried for some reason but I usually just use burncd anyway.

Re: Can't burn cds
I had trouble getting CD burning to work, but the FreeBSD Handbook had the info I needed to get it to work. I had to modify my fstab and in order to use k3b, I had to mount the CD on the command line first. It won't work if the CD is not mounted first, it's not as easy as it is in Linux, but it works. Have you read the k3b pkg-message? You can find it in k3b port directory. It contains detailed step-by-step instructions about how to allow a non-privileged user to mount what they need. It works just fine. Andriy ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Can't burn cds
I had trouble getting CD burning to work, but the FreeBSD Handbook had the info I needed to get it to work. I had to modify my fstab and in order to use k3b, I had to mount the CD on the command line first. It won't work if the CD is not mounted first, it's not as easy as it is in Linux, but it works. The pertinent sections of my fstab: /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/cd0 /usr/home/pollywog/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0 I also had to add myself (my username) to the operator group. To make it more convenient, I added an alias in my ~/.bash_aliases: alias mountcd='mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 ~/cdrom' ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
