[svlug] cdrecord and SuSe 9.1

[Richard Evans]

In the past I have been using the following commands in a script
to burn a cd on an Dell Inspiron 8100 that had CROM R/W internal
unit running SuSe 9.1.

                   mkisofs -l -D -L -r -o /export/cdimages/student 
/export/home/sailor
                   cdrecord -v -eject dev=/dev/hdb speed=4 -data 
/export/cdimages/student

Now that I have a Toshiba Techra M2 with a DVD Super Multi  (CD/DVD R/W)
running SuSe 9.1.

       1.  The following command works fine.
                    mkisofs -l -D -L -r -o /export/cdimages/student 
/export/home/sailor

       2.  The following command
                    cdrecord -v -eject dev=/dev/hdb speed=4 -data 
/export/cdimages/student

            produces the following  error

                       cdrecord: No write mode specified.
                       cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
                       cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have 
different drive dependent defaults.
                       cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

Does anyone have the proper command to burn a cdrom given the facts above?

Any help would greatly appreciated.
