WORM (Write Once Read Many) or CD-R (CD-wRiter) works.

This is from the Handbook:

10.2.1.5. CD Recordable (WORM) drives

At the time of this writing, FreeBSD supports 3 types of CDR drives
(though I believe they all ultimately come from Phillips anyway): The
Phillips CDD 522 (Acts like a Plasmon), the PLASMON RF4100 and the HP
4020i.  I myself use the HP 4020i for burning CDROMs (with 2.2-current -
it does not work with 2.1.5 or earlier releases of the SCSI code) and it
works very well. See /usr/share/examples/worm on your 2.2 system for
example scripts used to created ISO9660 filesystem images (with RockRidge
extensions) and burn them onto an HP4020i CDR.
