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.
