Something must be wrong, because according to: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.0-RELEASE/HARDWARE.TXT "With all supported SCSI controllers, full support is provided for SCSI-I & SCSI-II peripherals, including hard disks, optical disks, tape drives (including DAT and 8mm Exabyte), medium changers, processor ^^^^^^^^^^^ target devices and CDROM drives. WORM devices that support CDROM commands are supported for read-only access by the CDROM driver. WORM/CD-R/CD-RW writing support is provided by cdrecord, which is in the ports tree."
