Hi,

In "7.3.2 Ripping CD Audio Tracks", there is one error, and one
omission.

This command which is listed:
cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0a -t 7

is a leftover from FreeBSD 4.x, since on RELENG_5, RELENG_6, and CURRENT,
onl /dev/acd0 exists for ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

This part of the documentation neglects to mention the need for
atapicam.  If you do not "kldload atapicam", then this command will
not work:

cdda2wav -D /dev/acd0 -t 7

cdda2wav: Invalid argument. Open by 'devname' not supported on this OS. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdda2wav: For possible targets try 'cdda2wav -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
Probably you did not define your SCSI device.
Set the CDDA_DEVICE environment variable or use the -D option.
You can also define the default device in the Makefile.
For possible transport specifiers try 'cdda2wav dev=help'.

cdda2wav -scanbus

cdda2wav: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdda2wav: For possible targets try 'cdda2wav -scanbus'.
Probably you did not define your SCSI device.
Set the CDDA_DEVICE environment variable or use the -D option.
You can also define the default device in the Makefile.
For possible transport specifiers try 'cdda2wav dev=help'.
