Trying to burn BeOS ISO Using CDRecord in Linux

linux-rulz · 09-10-2005, 04:07 AM

Hey all. I am currently trying to burn the BeOS Max 5 Personal Edition ISO for use on an older computer. I have all of the files downloaded right now.

Now, inside of the directory, there is a floppy image file and an iso file. I am told in the Readme that both images are supposed to be used when burning the disc. It says to use the following command:

cdrecord dev=9,1,0 speed=4 -eject -v -data floppyCD.img BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.iso

So, first off, I run cdrecord -scanbus with the following results:

Code:

        1,0,0   100) 'PHILIPS ' 'CDD5301         ' 'H1.1' Removable CD-ROM
        1,1,0   101) 'PIONEER ' 'DVD-RW  DVR-106D' '1.00' Removable CD-ROM
        1,2,0   102) *
        1,3,0   103) *
        1,4,0   104) *
        1,5,0   105) *
        1,6,0   106) *
        1,7,0   107) *

So, I run the command:

cdrecord dev=1,1,0 speed=16 -eject -v -data floppyCD.img BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.iso and I get the following output:

Code:

[ryan@ryanhp ~]$ cdrecord dev=1,1,0 speed=4 -eject -v -data floppyCD.img BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.iso
cdrecord: No write mode specified.

Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong?

You have to run cdrecord as root (since kernel version 2.6.8, but I'm not sure about that number).

I've tried it as root, does the exact same thing.

Could it be because the iso uses the BFS filesystem and not a regular iso9660 filesystem?

ISOs are just burned as raw data, IIRC, so that shouldn't matter. What kind of CD-RW are you using? If it's IDE, do you have SCSI emulation enabled if necessary (with the ide-scsi driver)? With a 2.6 kernel, you should not need to use SCSI emulation, but you will have to use -dev=ATAPI:<number> as an argument to cdrecord.
