My CD Burner is an ATA device and represented as /dev/hdc. When I call 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus' I get the following output: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: 'ATA' devname: 'ATA' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface.

I still don't see the need to populate /dev with SCSI related device nodes when there is no SCSI device in my system.
