Hi!

I am new with FreeBSD. I installed one day ago 7.0 beta3 and I try to
learn 
and setup the system.
When I start K3b (KDE) I got a message:

"No CD/DVD writer found.
K3b did not find an optical writing device in your system. Thus, you
will not 
be able to burn CDs or DVDs. However, you can still use other K3b
features 
like audio track extraction or audio transcoding or ISO9660 image
creation."

I tired as user and as root but resul is the same.

BTW: under Linux I didn't have a problem

Thanks in advance.

Response:

Assuming some things still work as they did with the 6.X releases
(probably a dangerous assumption) you need to enable the ATAPI driver.
