burncd is intended for ATAPI CD-R/RW devices. The problem is that burning 
CDs with ATAPI devices uses a subset of the ATAPI standard that is in many 
cases badly or only partially implemented by manufacturers. Infact, only a 
small number of quite expensive ATAPI writers will work this way.

The best thing to do would be to make sure you have a reasonably new 
4-STABLE FreeBSD system (check the Handbook for upgrading instructions) and 
compile your kernel with atapicam support. This will cause FreeBSD to 
access your CD-ROM and CD-R/RW or DVD/DVD-RW drives as SCSI devices. Then 
you will be able to use your device with cdrecord.

To get atapicam, you will need all of these (atleast) in your kernel 
configuration file:

device		ata
device		atapicd
device		atapicam

device		scbus
device		pass
device		cd

Check the Handbook for instructions on compiling and installing a new 
kernel.
