Hello, Bob :)
Check out /etc/cdrecord.conf
On my system, I had the same problem.
In the default cdrecord.conf, the following appears:
#ident @(#)cdrecord.dfl 1.4 02/07/07 Copyr 1998 J. Schilling
#
# This file is /etc/cdrecord.conf
# It contains defaults that are used if no command line option
# or environment is present.
#
# The default device, if not specified elswhere
#
CDR_DEVICE=yamaha
You will notice that the default device, according to /etc/cdrecord.conf
is "yamaha"
Let's look a little further down the file and see what we find:
# The following definitions allow abstract device names.
# They are used if the device name does not contain the
# the characters ',', ':', '/' and '@'
#
# Unless you have a good reason, use speed == -1 and let
# cdrecord use it's intercal drive specific defaults.
#
# drive name device speed fifosize driveropts
#
teac= 1,3,0 -1 -1 ""
panasonic= 1,4,0 -1 -1 ""
plextor= 1,4,0 -1 -1 ""
sanyo= 1,4,0 -1 -1 burnfree
yamaha= 1,5,0 -1 -1 ""
cdrom= 0,6,0 2 1m ""
You will notice that the device number for "yamaha" is "1,5,0", which is
I believe analagous to:

from your original message.
Realizing there is probably a better way to fix it, I did the following:
"cdrecord -scanbus"
I got the following result:
[root@xxxxxxxxx steve]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.01a16 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jrg
Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'Memorex ' '52MAXX 2452AJ ' '6WS2' Removable
CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
So what I did, reiterating the fact that there is certainly an easier
way to do it, was change "1,5,0" on the "yamaha" line in
/etc/cdrecord.conf, to "0,0,0":
yamaha= 0,0,0 -1 -1 ""
The result is that every time I burn a cd from the command line, not
only do I not need to specify the location of my cd-burner, but it
always detects it correctly :)
Hope that helps :)
