Ho, sorry, this is simply not true. Although I don't use burncd so
can't comment on it, I've been using cdrecord since FreeBSD 2.x
(1997-8, IIRC), on a wide variety of burners - none of which have
ever required me to eject/reload the disk to mount it, unless an
operation aborted/failed.  In which case the disk burnt was generally
a coaster anyway.

Even now, using cdrecord with ATAPICAM, this is never necesary on
my current burners (NED ND6500A, Plextor PX-712A).  I simply burn
and then mount immediately.

AS
