Pre Burning Steps

Downloading/Installing cdrecord

To burn the Max cd-rom in Linux or BeOS you will need the CDRecord utility. You can download them here:

BeBits - cdrtools (http://www.bebits.com/app/3964)

cdrecord alpha (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha)

Installing the latest version

For example, on this page ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha find the newest version and download. In my case, it was this: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools-2.01.01a14-pre.tar.bz2 Now follow closely these instruction. Once downloaded, double click the file. If expander does not extract the .tar file, install this [1] (http://www.bebits.com/app/3218) . Once you've double clicked and extracted the .bz2 file, double click on the .tar file. You should see a folder named cdrtools-2.01.01. Open that folder. Once in that folder, open a terminal. Type in

make

A whole lot of messages will come scrolling by. Wait until they stop, could take as long as 10 minutes. After that is complete, type in

cd cdrecord/OBJ/bepc-beos-gcc/
cp -f cdrecord /boot/home/config/bin/
cd /
cdrecord --version

Burning Steps

From the open terminal window above where we discussed Post Download Steps (http://www.beosmax.org/wiki/index.php/Burning_Max_cd-rom_in_BeOS_5_or_Linux.#Post_Download_Steps) and go to the location you have the files of downloaded BeOS 5 PE Max Edition. These files are: BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.iso and floppycd.img

In the terminal type:

cdrecord -scanbus

press Enter. This will give you a listing of the CDrom devices with their device number similar to this:

Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01.01a12 (i586-pc-beos) Copyright (C) 1995-2006 J�rg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus8:
        8,0,0   800) 'HL-DT-ST' 'CD-RW GCE-8525B ' '1.01' Removable CD-ROM
        8,1,0   801) *
        8,2,0   802) *
        8,3,0   803) *
        8,4,0   804) *
        8,5,0   805) *
        8,6,0   806) *
        8,7,0   807) *

As you see here 8,0,0 is the recorder device. Now according to this type in the terminal, all on ONE line:

cdrecord dev=8,0,0 -eject -v -data -dao -pad -padsize63s driveropts=burnfree gracetime=0 floppycd.img BeOS5PEMaxEditionV31b1.iso

press Enter. This will write the cd-rom at the maximal speed of your cdrw drive and eject the cdrom after the burn.

You now have a working and bootable BeOS 5 PE Max Edition cd-rom.
