Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I'm going 
cross-eyed re-reading this...  :) Just to make sure...

You are unable to burn the CD _as root_?

If you are able to burn the CD (as root), then you might 
want to take a look at sysutils/k3b/pkg-message in the 
ports tree.  It's an ATD (attention to detail) type of 
document and it has to be read carefully, but it works 
(hint...  When it makes references to other pieces of 
documentation, then be sure to read them because they are 
very much applicable).

Here's my /dev list for components involved:

$ ls -la /dev/cd* /dev/pass* /dev/xpt*
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd0a
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd0c
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd1a
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd1c
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd2a
crw-rw-rw-  2 root  operator   ... /dev/cd2c
crwsrwxrwx  1 root  operator   ... /dev/pass0
crwsrwxrwx  1 root  operator   ... /dev/pass1
crwsrwxrwx  1 root  operator   ... /dev/pass2
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  operator  ... /dev/xpt0

Hope that helps...


Mike
