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.

*Actually the = is correct, and you do need it for what you're doing. I

*doing without. What I ended up with was a data DVD with an ISO file on
*it - not what I wanted! I would guess the command you need is
*growisofs -dvd-compat -Z
*/dev/cd0=/usr/home/alp/FreeBSD_7/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso
*(Probably wrapped in the email, but it needs to be all one line.) It's

*you've been doing.

the Handbook either.
*I noticed that omission too.
*Putting that line in /boot/loader.conf makes the module load on the
*next boot, but doesn't load it right now. You can see if it's already
*loaded by issuing a kldstat command. If you see atapicam.ko in
*response, you're good. If not, do a
*kldload atapicam.ko
*..as root or equivalent, to load the module immediately without a
*reboot. Just for completeness, you may want to also
* ls /dev | grep ^cd

Aloha,
Here's how it worked.
From sysutils/dvd+rw-tools
I installed the DVD port
# growisofs
I used the following from all the suggestions and it worked with Manolis
DVD p1 7.2
1st> I put hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" in the /boot/loader.conf
2nd> put apticam_load="YES" in the /boot/loader.conf
(That 2nd 18.7.2 instruction is not clear in the Handbook section and
should be added.)
Then> I ran # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z
dev/cd0=/usr/home/alp/FreeBSD_7/7.2-RELEASE-p1-i386-disc1.iso
(all on one line)
Then> I was able to use cd0 as a DVD burner and make the DVD-R
I tested the DVD on a spare box and it installed just fine.
I suggest that the authors of the section 18.7/2 add the sample command
line for atapicam as they did for dma="1" to eliminate the confusion.
Thanks to all who helped
