Check my web site at <http://www.ogopogo.net/richard/freebsd/>; for info on
FreeBSD 2.2.7. The information is a bit out of date and doesn't work
completely in 3.x anymore, but there are still some useful details and
links there.

There are a couple scripts that might help you; try
/usr/share/examples/atapi/burndata or /usr/share/examples/atapi/burnaudio.
For example,

sh /usr/share/examples/atapi/burndata wcd0a cd-image-file-created-with-mkisofs

The problem is, it doesn't work for me. Like you, I have an HP-7200i. The
last time I was able to build a CD-ROM was in 2.2.8. It almost seems (this
is very unscientific) that it never actually writes, but just goes into
test mode. Blanking a CD-RW doesn't seem to work. Writing just plain don't
work.

Please let me know if you can get it to work. I've been very frustrated
with this for quite some time.

Good luck!
