Many internal EIDE burners work perfectly fine with Unix. Also, it's  
not whether or not it works with FreeBSD I think, but rather whether  
or not it's supported with dvd+rw-tools.
If you are concerned about hardware support still though, try to find  
one which was not released just recently as the probability of it  
being supported is lower than some other slightly older burners.
