Using Linux Nero port in FreeBSD 6.

I've been trying to make this work and it never can seem to
find the
device.  It's a DVD writer on /dev/cd0 (connected via USB so
it's using
the SCSI-like interface) and /dev/pass0.  I've tried every
combination I
can think of of pointing /compat/linux/dev/<something>
to
either /dev/cd0 or /dev/pass0, to no avail.  The best I've
received is
the ktrace showing it getting ENOTTY (inappropriate ioctl
for device).

Hints?  Suggestions?

Several possibilities:

The SCSI part has a linux emulation part (I don't remember
the name
ATM), give it a try and report back if it works.

In the linux emulation exists a device wrapper feature. You
can add the
device there (in the source) which nero tries to open, and
maybe add
some more code which maps linux ioctls to FreeBSD ones (or
at least
identify which devices it tries to open and which ioctls it
wants to
do, maybe someone here on the list is willing to help out).

Bye,
Alexander.
