I haven't been following this thread so I may repeat something or miss =20
something but basically you need to check:

Your running kernel is compiled with the "device atapicam" option =20
because AFAIK k3b only works with scsi.

I have the following lines in this computers /etc/devfs.conf

link  acd0  cdrom
link  acd0  dvd
link  acd0  rdvd
link  acd1  cdrom1
link  acd1  dvd1
link  acd1  rdvd1
link  acd0  cd0
link  acd1  cd1
perm  acd0  0777
perm  acd1  0777
perm  cd0 0777
perm  cd1 0777

Maybe over kill but works great and I, too, was a command line cd =20
burner for years but k3b brought me the light.  IMO, it is great.

I am running
/var/db/pkg/cdrtools-2.01_7
/var/db/pkg/k3b-1.0.4_3
although on my laptop amd64 I think I am using cdrtools-devel.

I hope this helps a bit.  I haven't found a machine, since I started =20
burning dvd's a couple of years ago that k3b didn't work beautifully.
