CD Burning Not Working

Hello, everyone, I am running FreeBSD 6.0-stable and LOVING every second of it. However, my CD burning capabilities have been stymied by an unknown problem which I cannot fix, let alone diagnose. I am attempting to burn a cd using SCSI-emulation, which is correctly set up, using cdrecord. The exact command used is 'cdrecord dev=1,0,0 data_cd.iso'. However, here is the output of that command:

cdrecord: No write mode specified.
cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.
cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...

When I perform a dmesg command, here is the output (Repeat each one of those about 15 times, and that's it):

I have googled and searched through FAQ's but can find no information regarding this problem. If anyone could give me some help or just point me in the right direction I would me most grateful. Thank you in advance.
