Yes, but it needs an ugly hack for that.

I work around the scanbus stuff like that:

devel ~ % cat /usr/local/bin/cdrdao
#! /bin/sh

case "${1}" in
        scanbus)
        sed '   /^cd. at/!d;
                s/^cd. at scsibus\(.\) targ \(.\) lun \(.:\) <\([^<]*\)>.*/\1,\2,\3 \4/
        ' </var/run/dmesg.boot
        exit 0
        ;;
	*)
	/usr/local/bin/cdrdao-orig $*
	;;
esac

exit 1
devel ~ % cdrdao scanbus
0,0,0: , ATAPI CDROM., 100Y
1,0,0: PLEXTOR, CD-R PX-W1210A, 1.08
devel ~ % 

Same for cdrecord with an other output format of course. I know this
is still very ugly but for me it seems much cleaner than patching any
imaginable program using (-)scanbus. It's even faster than really
scanning the bus :)

For those who care...
