cd burning

[Filipe Bonjour]

Hi,

If I try this, I get the following (and the command doesn't hang):

fbonjour at dirac 16 $ cdrecord -scanbus

I thought than the -scanbus option was to scan the bus for SCSI numbers, 
so this shouldn't be necessary any more for IDE CD writers. So first of 
all, do you have a CD writer that's connected through a SCSI bus? 
Otherwise, have you tried running with dev=/dev/dvdrw (or whatever your 
device is)?
