For some reason, FreeBSD doesn't emulate SCSI over an ATAPI bus, so we don't have any SCSI pseudo devices like Linux and other BSDs do. Therefore, you can't use xcdroast and other frontends to cdrecord (an excellent piece of software, by the way) with an ATAPI CDR/W on FreeBSD. You can with Linux or, I think, Open/NetBSD. But not with FreeBSD yet. For now, you will have to use burncd. It's progressing nicely, and I haven't had a single problem using it with my TDK VeloCD 16-10-40x. The main complaint is that you cannot do a disk-at-once type of scenario. And you don't have all the spiffy front-ends like you do for cdrecord. Either that or you have to put your ATAPI burner on another box and use a SCSI burner on your FBSD box. Oh well. Life goes on. HTH. -- David S.
