Did you write the disk as an ISO disk or by using the option that
makes the CD-RW look like a normal disk? If the latter, it is written
is UDF format, a new format for writable optical media. It's used for
CD-RW and DVD-RAM. There is a Linux kernel module to allow reading UDF
format disks, but I don't think that it is available for and BSD.

UDF is not a proprietary format. I hope it makes it to FreeBSD some day.
