cdrecord problem

Sorry, it was just an example from my personal configuration. The generic
format is 'dev=b,t,l' with b, t and l provided by 'cdrecord -scanbus'. In
your particular case, this seems there no printout, hence my remark about
the atapicam device.

Extract from atapicam(4):
 "EXAMPLES
            device atapicam
            device scbus
            device cd
            device pass
      Add the atapicam driver to the kernel."

'atapicam' represents a device entry in your kernel configuration file. It
is not a user level command. You can interact with these type of devices
via the camcontrol(8) utility.

Note: the (x) is here to indicate the number - "x" in this case - of the
section for the corresponding manual page: ex. 'man 8 camcontrol'.

So no support of this type of device.

Maybe is this link of great interest to you:

Especially the section labelled "Using the ATAPI/CAM Driver".
