Well, it is more effective to do
supermount -i disable
rm -f /dev/cdrom
In /etc/conf.modules add the lines
alias block-major-11 ide-scsi
postinstall modprobe ide-scsi
then back to the command line
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
If you use supermount--it is best to have another link to the
scsi_hostadapter in /etc/conf.modules. THis allows one to be supermounted
while the "duplicate" remains unmounted and ready for the burners to detect.
Anyway, this will do what Ron suggested and make the burner device visible as
an ordinary CD drive as well.. But remember burners work on an unmounted
drive. Mount to play, unmount to burn.
