The LS-120 drives are not yet supported in FreeBSD. If they acted more like hard disks it may be possible to fool the wd disk driver into thinking they're hard disks, but if they use the ATAPI protocols then it probably won't work. These devices are pretty ripe for a driver write, however. Interested parties should contact hackers@freebsd.org to get started.
