My README.freebsd is wrong, sorry.

If you have a CD-Recorder that is the second cd drive, 
you will probably need to add a link from /dev/scgx to /dev/cd0c

cd /dev
ln -s cd1c scgx


If the drive identifies as WORM drive (old drives only)
cdreate a symlink from /dev/scgx to /dev/worm0 or /dev/worm.ctl 
( I have no access to a machine, so I don't know what is right )
