I'm trying to burn CDs off FreeBSD for the first time here.

I've got the whole mkisofs part figured out. It's not really
that hard.

Where I'm having trouble is getting cdrecord to actually talk
to the cd writer.

I tried "cdrecord -dummp -v speed=1 dev=0,0 cd.iso" which complains:
cdrecord: Bad file descriptor. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

"cdrecord -scanbus" run as root yields the exact same error message.

dmesg output relevent to this device:
ahc0: <Adaptec 2940A Ultra SCSI adapter> port 0x9400-0x94ff mem 0xe2800000-0xe2800fff irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0
aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/255 SCBs
[...]
cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <RICOH MP6200S 1.00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device 
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers

The device appears to be working properly, since I can throw in a read-only
CD and mount it thus: "mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt" and read things just
fine.

I've got the funny feeling I'm missing a step or something. Any advice is
welcome.

TIA,
Bill
