Better not use 6.1. 6.2 has been out for some time now.
The following works for me;
1) Make sure that the CD/DVD rewriter is controlled as a SCSI device
instead of an ATAPI device. Build a kernel with the following devices:
# ATA and ATAPI devices
# Do _not_ include the atapicd driver!
device ata
device atadisk # ATA disk srives
device ataraid # RAID drives
# The atapicam device is not included in the GENERIC amd64 kernel!
device atapicam # Emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI via CAM
options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering
# SCSI peripherals
device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device cd # Compact Disc
device da # Direct Access (disks)
device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
2) Set the device permissions correctly
# Give members of group cdrom access to the CD/DVD-ROM and DVD+RW via the
# SCSI interface
own xpt0 root:cdrom
perm xpt0 0660
own cd0 root:cdrom
perm cd0 0660
own cd1 root:cdrom
perm cd1 0660
link cd1 cdrom
link cd1 dvd
My user-id is part of the cdrom group.
3) Use 'cdrecord -scanbus' to determine which device to use;
Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a11 (amd64-unknown-freebsd6.2) Copyright (C)
1995-2006 Jörg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-ROM GDR8163B' '0L23' Removable CD-ROM
1,1,0 101) 'PLEXTOR ' 'DVDR PX-716A ' '1.08' Removable CD-ROM
So I'm using 1,1,0.
4) Burn the image;
cdrecord -v -eject -dao speed=32 driveropts=burnfree dev=1,1,0 -pad \
-data 6.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso
HTH,
