Somewhat related, is anyone doing anything with packet-writing for
FreeBSD?  I always assumed that it would allow the use of CD like
a tape.  Would be nice anyway. 

You can already do this if you really want to by telling dump to use
files and making them all 650MB (or whatever your CD-ROMs are), and then
burning those to CD. No compression, but it's worked for me.
