After I failed to burn a CD in NetBSD (5.1_STABLE) on the older computer (i386) with cdrecord, I booted into FreeBSD 8.2 RELEASE and was successful with burncd. That drive was CD-RW, ATAPI, that computer has ATA but no SATA.
Does growisofs work on CDRs or only DVDs?
If 'cdrecord -scanbus' doesn't work at all, how do I get the "SCSI device" n:n:n? Use camcontrol?
I see both FreeBSD and NetBSD have makefs (which can make a UFS/FFS or iso file system, taking the place of mkisofs in cdrtools. But NetBSD has no CD or DVD burner in the base system.
I could also try to build cdrkit and see if that works.
