yes :) I have an LG 52x which is not "Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device" as the dmesg claims, and another Backpack cd-rewriter connected to the parallel port of my box, but I dont see this detected at anytime of the boot.. > > > I dont see any signs in my dmesg that says "CDR/CDRW.

I thought that atapicam = scsi emulation for parallel devices thru CAM? or I got this wrong? :) I'm talking about a CDRW on my parallel port.. I need to burn FreeBSD 5 and install it on an Ultra-10 d*mmit :) my other fellows "Linux admins" are making fun of how I will return to them to burn a copy of FreeBSD on their Linux boxes :/ hehe. so PLEASE HELP lol btw, how can I use burncd on the "undetected" device? :) > > -- > Scott A.
