Where did you find the documentation for how to form the dev command? I was using /dev/sg1 until 2.6.3 broke things (well, the new mb/cpu combo may have helped). Substituting the proper ATAPI:x,x,x string for /dev/sg1 got me working again.
BTW: I agree with the rants about cdr being too hard in Linux, a couple of things I've learned: 0. Per the above thread, use cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI to find the correct x,y,z designation for your burner. Then use "ATAPI:x,y,z" for the device designation in cdrtoaster. 1. Despite all of the docs & hints from cdrtoaster & cdrecord, you DON'T need ide-scsi, kernel parameters, or other dev customizations if a) you're running devfs or b) you have a kernel with devfs built in (I _believe_ this started with 2.5.x). 2. cdrtoaster doesn't have docs because it's just a shell script. I've spent >1 year cursing everytime I manually changed "/dev/sg0" to "/dev/sg1" and wishing cdrtoaster had a man page. Now I've simply edited it to default the device declaration to "ATAPI:1,0,0", and set the default speed to 12 instead of 2.
