I dealing with problem 1 - see previous message - I set about creating
a live DVD on my development system. Now I find that I cannot seem to
mount a medium in that drive. wodim --devices reports it as present
and so does cdrecode. I can use the eject utility to toggle the tray
open and closed. But when I load a blank dvd or cd in that unit I get
nothing on my desktop - in other words I am not getting an auto mount,
and I cannot do anything with dd to that dev either.

But cdrecord says that their is no media present although I have
empirically determined that a blank dvd is in fact loaded into the
