I use a TDK VeloCD 12x10x32 CD-RW drive and it works fine with FreeBSD and 
burncd.  Built this machine from the ground up about 8 months ago, 
specifically to put FreeBSD on it.  Sorry, not sure of the exact model number 
because the box is not handy now.

Since then, I have installed other hard drives and multi-boot Win98, Win2000, 
and FreeBSD (with FreeBSD being default, of course).  The drive works great 
with all those operating systems.  I have used it to burn FreeBSD and RedHat 
installation CDs, and for CD-RW based backup.

Drive was on sale at CompUSA at the time.  I'm sure if you got one now it 
would be faster than 12x10x32, and would hopefully work with FreeBSD.
