cd burning

1. xcdroast &
   
2. xcdroast responds: "Failed to scan the SCSI-bus. Either no permission to access the generic scsi devices or no SCSI support enabled in the kernel. For ATAPI devices you have to install the SCSI-emulation first. See the CD-Writing-HOWTO how to do that."

3. kernel compilation:
   • Y - SCSI emulation support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI)
     
   • Y - SCSI generic support (CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG)
     
   • Y - SCSI CD-ROM support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR)
     
   • compiled new kernel and installed it in /boot
4. lilo.conf
   • added to the new kernel's section append="hdc=ide-scsi" where /dev/hdc was the cdrom drive. I left the root device and HDDs as ide devices.
5. the cdrom was configured on reboot
6. entered xcdroast and saw my drive appear as scsi
7. did copying on the command line
   • mkisofs -r -o cdimage.raw /dir_to_be_burned
   • mount cdimage.raw -r -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt
   • ls -lR /mnt
   • umount /mnt
   • cdrecord dev=0,0 cdimage.raw
