atapicam, cdrecord, and my gaping clue deficiency

Peter Seebach seebs at plethora.net

Hardware:  SuperMicro X5DE8-GG motherboard, dual Xeon 2.8Ghz, 2GB memory.
Using onboard SCSI controller for disks, onboard IDE for DVD burner.  DVD
burner is a Pioneer DVR-108.

Software:  cdrecord and/or cdrecord-ProDVD.

Problem:  CD burning Always Fails.  Failure mode is 100% repeatable and
consistent:

	cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error
	CDB:  2A 00 00 00 01 55 00 00 1F 00
	status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
	Sense Bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
	Sense Key: 0xFFFFFFFF [], Segment 0
	Sense Code: 0x00 Qual 0x00 (no additional sense information) Fru 0x0
	Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
	cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s
	write track data: error after 698368 bytes
	Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 04 08 00 00 00 00

Mr. Schilling says "Install a non-defective kernel."  I am assuming that this
doesn't mean "some other OS".

Googling around on the CDB bytes turns up lots of people with cabling
problems, especially on SCSI busses.

Googling around on FreeBSD and 698368 turns up someone who needed the P1003_1B
option added to a kernel.  (It's now just the _KPOSIX option, and it's already
in there.)

I got as far as putting in the atapicam and related devices.  This happens
whether or not I leave the atapicd driver in place.  (dmesg output below is
without.)

I enclose dmesg and config file as attachments for perusal.  I am Very Worried
by the observation that the CD is claiming a 3.300MB/sec transfer rate:

	cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
	cd0: <PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-108 1.10> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
	cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers

This is almost certainly incorrect; it should be ATA66, and I have an 80-pin
cable.

I'm not *totally* hopeless:
# cat /boot/loader.conf
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"

but I can't tell whether that's fixed anything.

My hypothesis is that I have somehow failed to persuade the kernel to Really
And Truly do DMA on this device, and that it's fallen back on a pathetically
slow and inappropriate PIO mode.

Clues will be gratefully appreciated; also, since I've seen other people with
similar problems, if I can find a fix, I will write about it and put lots of
happy Google-friendly keywords in it so fewer people will ask in the future.
