This is from the Handbook: 10.2.1.5. CD Recordable (WORM) drives At the time of this writing, FreeBSD supports 3 types of CDR drives (though I believe they all ultimately come from Phillips anyway): The Phillips CDD 522 (Acts like a Plasmon), the PLASMON RF4100 and the HP 4020i. I myself use the HP 4020i for burning CDROMs (with 2.2-current - it does not work with 2.1.5 or earlier releases of the SCSI code) and it works very well. See /usr/share/examples/worm on your 2.2 system for example scripts used to created ISO9660 filesystem images (with RockRidge extensions) and burn them onto an HP4020i CDR.
