As root, I did the following (assuming I remember the Windows path
correctly:-):
mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt
cd /mnt/Documents\ and\ Settings/Scott/My\ Documents/CD-R
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data 5.3-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso fixate
and later:
burncd -f /dev/acd0 data 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso fixate
Note that there is no partition letter following the major and minor devices
in /dev/acd0 (i.e., no partition 'c' that traditionally encompasses an entire
drive in BSD). It is the only name in /dev pertaining to the CD/DVD burner.
