README.atapi from the xcdroast docs "feel" less complicated. I don't recall having to do that much work. Perhaps because I use devfs? Keep in mind I don't burn too many cd's. With a 2.6.2-ben1 kernel I just started xcdroast and scanned for devices and it found the atapi cd-drive. I then booted a 2.4.24-ben1 kernel, started xcdroast, and scanned for devices. It found the "scsi" cd-drive. In neither case did I actually try to burn a cd. I just scanned the empty drive. As far as I can see the only difference is that I have the line, append="hdc=ide-scsi" in yaboot.conf's section for the 2.4 kernel. It seems to happen automagically. digger
