<!-- A15 -->
<p>Nautilus-cd-burner cannot write to CD/DVD burners if support
for those devices is not enabled in the kernel, or if the
permissions on the device nodes do not allow write access.
Nautilus-cd-burner talks to CD/DVD burners through the
SCSI CAM subsystem. Therefore, you must also make sure
you have the following configured in your kernel if you are using
an ATAPI CD/DVD writer:</p>
<pre>
device atapicam
</pre>
<p>To figure out which CD/DVD drive you will be using, run the
following command as root:</p>
<pre>
# camcontrol devlist
</pre>
<p>Your output will look similar to the following:</p>
<pre>
&lt;CREATIVE CD5233E-N 0.20&gt; at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0)
</pre>
<p>The devices in parentheses at the end are important. You
must make sure the <tt>/dev</tt> entries for those devices
are writable by the users that will be using
nautilus-cd-burner. In addition to those devices,
<tt>/dev/xpt*</tt> must also be writable to your
nautilus-cd-burner users. The following
<tt>/etc/devfs.conf</tt> configuration will achieve the
desired results given the above devlist (<b>NB:</b>
<tt>devfs.conf</tt> is only supported on FreeBSD 5.x):</p>
<pre>
perm acd0 0666
perm cd0 0666
perm xpt0 0666
perm pass0 0666
</pre>
<p>On FreeBSD 4.x, you can simply set the device node
permissions, and they will be preserved across reboots.
Note that you must use the 'c' device nodes on
FreeBSD 4.x (e.g. <tt>acd0c</tt>, <tt>cd0c</tt>, etc.).</p>
