Don't do that, use the /proc interface (on 2.2 at least):
echo 8388608 >> /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
(or any other number you like - note that if you specify fs=8M to
cdrecord, it will actually use a bit more than 8M of shared memory, so
you always have to specify more shmmax than the size of FIFO you want
to use in cdrecord)
On potato, you can put:
kernel/shmmax = 8388608
in /etc/sysctl.conf, and this will be automatically set at bootup.
