ide-scsi is obsolete on 2.6 kernels, cdrecord
(presently known as wodim in Debian by the way) can use recorders just like

and cannot (as far as I can see) use it the only way cedar-backup2 can use,
unlesss ide-scsi is configured. To this end I've made the following
trivial modifications which seem to fix the problem for me:

Hi,
I'll consider your patch.
I'm open to allowing other ways to specify the writer device.
However, I am not completely convinced (yet) that the right way to
solve the problem is to make the SCSI id optional. I may instead
provide some other way to flag the condition. Let me give it some
thought and do some testing on my own.
What kernel are you using -- a stock Debian one, or one you built
yourself? If it's a stock Debian 2.6 kernel, that's great, because I
should be able to reproduce your situation and do direct testing.
Incidentally, the regression tests are likely failing now because
you've caused a fundamental assumption to be broken, i.e. that every
configuration has a SCSI device associated with it. Any changes like
this ripple through the regression test suite, which is exactly what I
want to happen. :)
