I found I also had to put insmod commands for sg, idc-scsi and loop in
my rc.local file to get things to work. I cound not get cdrecord to
load the modules, even after following the HOWTO to the letter, except
with this hack. (Mine is the standard 6.2 installation on a PIII,
running the linux-up 2.2.14-5.0 kernel, right off the Red Hat iso image.)
Is this the right way to do this?
