Configuring a DVD burner on 4.10

[vzeogz49 at verizon.net]

Hi all,

Thanks Oliver.  The tip worked.

I had actually tried making pass4 before but it didn't work (sort of). Like a dope, I forgot about the whole indexing stuff (0=1, 1=2, etc).  So when I ran sh MAKEDEV pass4, pass3 kept getting recreated.  Finally it dawned on me and I just did MAKEDEV pass5.  Voila!  There was the pass4 device.  

Everything is working like a champ now.

Thanks again!

Best regards,

Donald
