Ok, let me ammend this a bit... cdrecord _does_ work.  I had tried
burncd and growisofs (using CAM) for the ATAPI and ATAPICAM methods.  So
apparently I can burn cds using atapicam and dvds using dvdrecord (from
savanah, this should really be brought into ports).  I would like burncd
to work, as I don't like opening my entire bus to just write optical
media.  Any clues on where I should look for this?
