i don't have. i use only atapicam+cd driver, no acd.
Of course I tried atapicam too (I even removed acd totally from the
kernel), but it doesn't resolve the problem(s)
I assume that you made the recommended links en /etc/devfs.conf etc.
so I won't go into it but it has been literally years that I haven't
had an issue burning cd's or dvd's be it music, movies, OS's built
here or elsewhere. I've just recently started trusting all my burning
to k3b because I like the music for success after finishing the burn. ;)
It works on all my different machines, even a cheapy acer laptop with dvdrw.
As I said, I've not seen it NOT work on any and all cheap hardware in
a long, long time. I guess maybe I'm just lucky.

P.S. The only thing that doesn't work on my cheapy laptop is the
crystal eye webcam but I think that even the linux crowd is having
issues with it plus I'm too old to want to send my video.

"except when i forgot to unmount" -> yep, the problem lies here, it's so
natural to just unplug an USB device

you may pkg_add from ftp repository
of course .. too bad that there is no pkg_upgrade
