I recently wrote a CD with cdwrite under Linux. It needs something called "Generic SCSI drivers" in the kernel. I don't exactly what this is, but if FreeBSD allows the program to access the CDR without treating it as a harddisk, CD-ROM, tape and so on, but simply as a raw device I think it should be quite easy to port and use cdwrite. It's available from ftp.yggdrasil.com and several other servers carrying Linux. Cheers, Markus
