I'm using 1.5.2 and am wanting to use cdparanoia.  It says I need to
specify the generic SCSI device for my CDROM using the -g option ...
my problem is I don't know what that is ...

Here's the relevant info from the kernel:

|mamers[~] 23>: dmesg | grep cd
|cd0 at atapibus0 drive 1: <LEOPTICS INC. 32X CDROM, , 0.03> type 5 cdrom removable
|cd0: 32-bit data port
|cd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2
|cd0(pciide0:1:1): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 (using DMA data transfers)
|cd1 at scsibus0 target 6 lun 0: <MATSHITA, CD-R   CW-7503, 1.09> SCSI2 5/cdrom removable
|mamers[~] 24>: ls -al /dev/cd*
|brw-rw----  1 root  operator  6,  0 Dec 30 10:35 /dev/cd0a
|brw-rw----  1 root  operator  6,  3 Dec 30 10:35 /dev/cd0d
|brw-rw----  1 root  operator  6,  8 Dec 30 10:35 /dev/cd1a
|brw-rw----  1 root  operator  6, 11 Dec 30 10:35 /dev/cd1d

I'm wanting to use the SCSI drive to read disks, as I have had good results
with it and cdparanoia under Linux in another box, so there should not be
any problems with hardware that I'm aware of ...

I have made myself part of the operator group, so I have access to these
devices, and I know the device works under NetBSD as I have been able to
mount and read ISO9660 CDs from either CDROM drive ... however I get
the following when trying to use cdparanoia:

I suspect I don't have the correct generic device for it to use, however
I don't know what that should be (obviously not Linux's /dev/sg0 ... :)

/dev/MAKEDEV doesn't seem to list any SCSI devices apart from
the usual disk, tape and CDROM ones, although the 'Unknown Device'
/dev/uk[01] looked interesting for a while (however nothing in the kernel 
appears to have used them ... )

So I'm stuck ... does anyone know what I should be doing to fix this problem?
