I must have missed burncd being broken for this user. I read the post as 
coming from someone who understood cdrecord, but had problems learning/using 
burncd.  I'm a FreeBSD newbie also, and didn't even take the time to look at 
burncd. By enabling the cam driver I'm able to use cdrecord which I'm quite 
familiar with. 

Just trying to help :)
