cant find cd device

hi,

i used to use a bash script to burn cd's with cdrkit and cdrdao. when i try and run the command cdrdao, i get an error

ERROR: Please use option '--device [proto:]bus,id,lun', e.g. --device 0,6,0 or --device ATA:0,0,0
ERROR: Cannot setup device /dev/cdrecorder.

how can i get the device name of my disk drive? ie --device ?,?,?

thanks

Re: cant find cd device

Do you really have /dev/cdrecorder? I think you mean /dev/cdrw (or /dev/cdrw0, etc.)?
