according to
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/creating-cds.html
if you dont want to use burncd for burning CDROMSs you need to use
atapicam (section 18.6.9)

either kldload atapicam
or
add the following line to the /boot/loader.conf file:

atapicam_load="YES"

then, reboot your machine.

As root, you can run the following command to get the SCSI address of
the burner:

# camcontrol devlist

This didnt work for me last time I tried for some reason but I usually
just use burncd anyway.
