Never did get it working but it seems to be narrowed down to the scsi
connection. After many communique's with Roger Fujii cdrecord got to the
point where it would run a test burn without all the binary errors. But,
the test always failed. After Joerg Schilling took a look at the output he
confirmed my fears, scsi connection. Kept getting 'scsi reset errors' in
/var/adm/messages. Problem now is finding a way to make this the only
connection on the bus. The only external burner I have is Centronix scsi
and I don't have any of those cables (50 pin to centronix).
I'll keep working on it in my spare time. If anyone is interested let me
know and I'll give you the final outcome.
Finally, my apologies if this is the wrong forum for this type of question.

I was not aware of this group or I would have asked the question there.

Subject: Update: Problems with cdrecord
Several people have asked whether or not I was running this as root, the
answer is no. I thought I could compile and install this as a user but
that was incorrect. I have since installed it successfully, both the
binary as well as the extra packages. I have also used mkisofs
successfully to make a raw image for burning.
However (and the reason this is an update and not a summary) when I run
it in test mode I get I/O errors like the following:

host# ./cdrecord: faio_wait_on_buffer for writer timed out.
I tried setting speed=2 first but got the same errors so I set it to 0
thinking it might be too fast.
So I still don't have it working correctly but I'm much closer than
before. It seems strange that I'm getting I/O and buffer issues. My
workstation is a Sparc20 with 2x60MHz processors and 64MB of RAM. Swap
is 134MB. I don't have alot of cpu intensive processes either, Apache
and Big Brother are about it.
