What your looking for is cdrecord. It does DVD-R.  I believe version 1.9 
will give some spurious warnings about > 90 minute writes, but they fixed 
that in version 1.10, but it's still beta and is not in the ports. Version 
1.9 is  in the ports, /usr/ports/sysutils/cdrecord

After you install it check the man page, "man cdrecord"

Then check the web page.

Find out if cdrecord can see your DVD "cdrecord -scanbus"

        Subject:        Toshiba DVD-RAM device

A while back, I placed a request for assistance in this group.
Meanwhile, I have research the issue and found only a couple of messages
relating to the same subject. I am still unable to format and mount my
DVD-RAM

Is there any assistance on this subject?

snip of orignal questions ==============================

I am having a little problem here. I have installed a Toshiba DVD-RAM
device. I have placed a CD in
the tray (write protect - off). I am trying to get this device to format
and mount.  Below is a list of the
commands I used, below that are the results (screen writes) that I see,
and below that are some snips
from the tail of the dmesg log.  Before I completed these steps,
/stand/sysinstall would start up and
then drop to the command line. After I completed the steps below,
/stand/sysinstall would start (VERY
long wait time), but did not see the ad0

Any ideas????
