	Hi, Phillip!

ext1:~# ls /dev/pk*
/dev/pktcdvd0  /dev/pktcdvd1  /dev/pktcdvd2  /dev/pktcdvd3

ext1:~# pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/scd0
open packet device: No such device or address

	... Suggestions as to what the issue might be?  /dev/scd0 is the correct target, as I can to DAO-style writes to it.  The drive itself is:

ext1:~# dmesg | grep -i dvd
hdc: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  Vendor: HL-DT-ST  Model: DVDRAM GSA-4163B  Rev: A103
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 62x/62x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

	...  I'm using IDE-SCSI to access the drive, since I was given to understand that it works best that way for UDF or Packet access.
