I know lspci only as a Linux command so where did you get a FreeBSD lspci
command?  Normally you would run 'pciconf -l' on FreeBSD.  A CDROM drive
is not a PCI device though.  It's an ATA or SCSI (or USB) device which can
be listed using 'camcontrol devlist' on FreeBSD.

Hmm, maybe write access is no longer needed.  It's been many years since
I last burned a CD.
