I've just always wondered why I have to do 'cdrecord > dev=1,1,0 disk.iso' instead of the more obvious 'cdrecord /dev/burner > disk.iso'. Surely some part of the kernel knows that /dev/burner is > SCSI ID '1,1,0'. I can mount /dev/burner on, say, /cdrom as a read-only > mount and it reads CDs with no problem. cdrecord doesn't use the kernel cdrom driver, it uses a raw scsi interface (sg), so only specifying the cdrom device doesn't work :)
