OK.. If =22vast majority=22 is the proper way to decide this issue..

.. What does WinXP call the CD writer device?

What's wrong with this picture?  Maybe =22vast majority=22 is the wrong c=
riteria...

'cdrecord -scanbus' tells me I'm supposed to use 'dev=3D0,1,0', which has=
 *zero*
meaning to me, since my laptop has no SCSI in it.  Fortunately, I also ha=
ve a
/dev/hdb, and 'dev=3D/dev/hdb' works the way one would expect if they wer=
en't
attached to a 1986-style naming scheme for some transport mechanism that =
isn't
present on my hardware.

And you know what? I really don't give a flying <fornicate> in a rolling =
donut
what FreeBSD calls the device. If I did, I'd have installed FreeBSD.  But=
 I
installed a Fedora distro of Linux, and the only sane naming scheme is th=
e
one that Fedora uses...
