That was to be expected.

Try instead:

# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=12 -v -eject -tao -data <file>

Some drives get crazy when you don't provide a slow burning
speed. Add other options (burnfree) if needed.

Just for comparison: If you want to burn a music CD:

# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=12 -v -eject -dao -audio <track>

You can see the obvious difference -data vs. -audio, but also
-tao (track at once) vs -dao (disk at once).

Is your drive faster than your disk which "hands in" the data?
Try to reduce the writing speed.

A clear message. You can use the -prcap option to find out
what your recorder will support; see "man cdrecord" for
details.

To your superior. :-)

Try the command mentioned above. I've left burncd somewhere
in FreeBSD 5 and I'm now using cdrecord exclusively. When run
as a !root user, make sure permissions to access the recorder
are set properly. Maybe add an alias for your dialog shell.
