Important notice for ATAPI support on FreeBSD:
|
|
|
|
A long time it was not possible to decently write CD's using ATAPI drives
|
|
on FreeBSD because ATAPI was not supported in an orthogonal way on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
These days (in the mid of november 2001) first ATAPI support for FreeBSD is
|
|
available as patch. Please read:
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=136602+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-current/20011111.freebsd-current
|
|
|
|
and get the FreeBSD kernel patch from:
|
|
|
|
http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Thomas Quinot <thomas@cuivre.fr.eu.org> for the patch.
|
|
|
|
We tested the patch with a collegue today (23.11.2001), here is the result:
|
|
|
|
- From our tests, it compiles with FreeBSD 4.x and FreeBSD current (5.0)
|
|
but does not boot with FreeBSD current so we used 4.x for our tests
|
|
I hope that Thomas Quinot <thomas@cuivre.fr.eu.org> and
|
|
Kenneth D. Merry <ken@kdm.org> will help to make it work with
|
|
FreeBSD current soon.
|
|
|
|
- The Author of the patch, Thomas Quinot <thomas@cuivre.fr.eu.org>, observed
|
|
that it runs on *some* -CURRENT machines and hangs on *some* -STABLE
|
|
machines so you may want to test what works best for you.
|
|
|
|
- It does not run the SCSI commands in silent mode so the ATAPI low level
|
|
code prints unwanted kernel messages when you start cdrecord.
|
|
|
|
- cdrecord runs without problems so far it has been tested!
|
|
|
|
You need to apply the patch, change your kernel configuration to include
|
|
|
|
options ATAPICAM
|
|
|
|
and then recompile install and boot the new kernel.
|
|
Make enough /dev/pass* devices and start testing.....

Schily,
|
|
Please add the following info to your readme for FreeBSD. Enabling POSIX
|
|
scheduling as described below does in fact make the error message go away.
|
|
|
|
Thanks,

Enable the Posix scheduling stuff in your kernel; you'll produce
|
|
more reliable burns at higher speeds if your machine is busy
|
|
(well, that's been my experience)
|
|
|
|
options "P1003_1B"
|
|
options "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING"
|
|
options "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L"
