I have tried to use Cdrecord on my SPARCstation 2 running NetBSD/1.4,
and even 1.8a28 fails. I found this in the pkgsrc.tar.gz file for current
that was put on ftp.netbsd.org the 13th, but I have not been able to find
the latest stuff that was commited to the tree the other day.

The CD-R drive is a firmware version 1.07 Philips CDD2600 on SCSI id 6.

The command I used was:
cdrecord dev=3D/dev/su0-6-0 -V -checkdrive

This makes the drive start working after this output:

cdrecord: Device not configured. Cannot open SCSI driver.
Cdrecord release 1.6.1 Copyright (C) 1995-1998 J=F6rg Schilling
scsidev: '/dev/su0-6-0'
devname: '/dev/su0-6-0'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2

Then after a while I get:
cdrecord: Device not configured. Cannot open SCSI driver.

ls -l /dev/su0-6-0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9 Nov 14 21:00 /dev/su0-6-0 -> /dev/cd0d


Is there anyone out there who can help me with this?

I get the same problem with cdrecord 1.6.1 from the packages system.
The drive is supported and the OS is supported.

Am I using the wrong device?
Am I doing anything else wrong?

If this is a problem with cdrecord, then I will send a mail to J=F6rg
and try to get a fix for this.

TIA!
