[lug] cdrecord: Cannot open '/dev/pg*'

[Gary Hodges]

Fresh install of Sarge.  Have tried two different DVD/CD writers (Sony 
and Lite-on).

Trying to get cdrecord going but I get the following error when I run 
"cdrecord -scanbus"

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open 
SCSI driver.

Thought it might need the "append hdc=ide-scsi" fix.  Sarge installed 
with grub so I edited the /boot/menu.lst file with guidance from google 
to look like...

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.25-1-386
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.4.25-1-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro
hdc=ide-scsi
initrd          /initrd.img-2.4.25-1-386
savedefault
boot

Not positive that is correct, but it seems to have worked as I see the 
following with dmesg:
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices

At this point I'm mostly stuck.  I'll keep googling but maybe someone 
here has a suggestion.
