 Nothing is wrong with the syntax, although your command above says the ISO 
 file is in a directory called /path. Does the directory exist? Is the ISO 
 in that directory? Permissions OK on everything? Does /dev/cd0 point to 
 your burner? And as Adam said, make sure you have atapicam loaded.

The nampage of growisofs lists /dev/dvd in its EXAMPLES section.
That's why I'm using

linkcd0 dvd

in /etc/devfs.conf, so you can easily use the examples for your
own command purposes. Note that for accessing the ATAPICAM facility,
it may be neccessary to have at least +w for group (operator) for
the /dev/cd and the /dev/pass device the DVD writer is refered by.
Use the camcontrol command to check:

% camcontrol devlist
HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H58N 1.01   at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass1)

% ll /dev/cd0 /dev/pass1
crw-rw-r--  1 root  operator0, 116 Sep 10 10:10 /dev/cd0
crw-rw  1 root  operator0, 115 Sep 10 10:10 /dev/pass1

% ll /dev/dvd
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel3 Sep 10 10:10 /dev/dvd@ - cd0



  Is this the correct way to copy an .iso onto a DVD-R for installs?
 
 It burns the ISO to the disk as a premastered disk, which is what you want 
 in this situation. If you wanted to just copy the ISO as a file, you'd 
 replace the = sign with a space.

In the last case you mentioned, growisofs would create an ISO-9660
file systen on the DVD which then contains one .iso file. That's
possible, but won't create the result the OP wanted, I think.



  Or can I just use burncd like somebody on the BSD forum said they did?
 
 I have no idea what somebody on the BSD forum said  :^)

The burncd command usually refers to burning CDs, not DVDs, allthough
it may be possible that it can be used for DVDs, too. But I'm not
familiar with it anymore, because I use growisofs for DVDs and
cdrecord / cdrdao for CDs; both of them use the ATAPICAM facility.

Caveats about anything I say: 1) I'm using 7.2, and b) I'm using +R media.

Nothing is wrong with the syntax, although your command above says the ISO 
file is in a directory called /path. Does the directory exist? Is the ISO 
in that directory? Permissions OK on everything? Does /dev/cd0 point to 
your burner? And as Adam said, make sure you have atapicam loaded.


I'm also assuming that dot at the end of your line is a period at the end 
of your sentence, and not part of the command you issued.
