I just now got around to downloading the cdrecord-1.9 package.  The first
thing I tried was to get the inquiry data from my DVD-R drive:

# cdrecord dev=3D/dev/cd1d:1,4,0 -inq
Cdrecord 1.9 (i386-unknown-netbsd1.4.3.) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J=F6rg
Schilling
scsidev: '/dev/cd1d:1,4,0'
devname: '/dev/cd1d'
scsibus: 1 target: 4 lun: 0
cdrecord: Operation not supported by device. Cannot open '/dev/cd1d'.
Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are
root.
#

So I tried that, and I got:

# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.9 (i386-unknown-netbsd1.4.3.) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J=F6rg
Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are
root.
#

?Huh?  Has anybody gotten this to work?  If so, what options / file(s) /
driver am I missing?
