Guys he's talking about an IDE device, cdrecord is for SCSI devices...

As far as I know there has been no work done on this yet. I even
have no idea how they do this but I presume they use the ATAPI
extensions for this, so it _could_ look like the SCSI counterparts.
I'm afraid that support for this is not very likely, without someone
either does the job (requieres pretty solid kernel hacking experience)
or donates a drive to the FreeBSD project.
