After FreeBSD was installed, I used "make install" for the cdrtools-2.0.3_2 package (Previous to freeBSD 4.10 installed was Windows 2000.  No hardware has changed since I was able to burn CDs using EZ cd creator)  Here is some information:

I don't know much about configuring the kernel for such a scsi device, and I don't know much about camcontrol.  But I do think these have something to do with why cdrecord doesn't see it.  Any information at all would help me greatly.

You need to make sure you have a /dev/pass4 device in order for cdrecord to
talk to it.

Easy ways to check:

camcontrol tur cd0 -v

ls -la /dev/pass4

If you don't have it, you can make it like this:

cd /dev
sh MAKEDEV pass5

The '5' is the number of pass devices to make.

Hopefully that'll fix your problem.
