If you have an atapi CD, put these lines in your kernel config:

device		ata
device		atapicam	# emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI ones via CAM
device		scbus		# SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device		cd		# SCSI CD
device		pass		# Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)

After you rebuild and reboot, you should see an extra SCSI bus with a
cd device which you can use cdrecord on.

The cdrecord manpage is pretty complete, I think.  General instructions
on using FreeBSD are at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/faq/ and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ .
