Been using burncd since Freebsd 4.0 with 650MB rw/cd's just fine. My local
computer store had a sale on 700MB rw/cd's and I picked up a few. Burncd
gives msg (Failure - read_big illegal request) on these 700MB rw/cd's. The
Freebsd 7.0 man burncd has no info on large sized rw/cd's?

Does burncd need a programming update to handle these newer larger sized
rw/cd's?

What other (built in with the release) program can be used to burn 700 MB
rw/cd's?

Aloha,

The suggestion to put the folloeing worked to clear my DMA error.

In: /boot/loader
Put: hw.ata.ata_dma=0 #disable IDE DMA

This allowed an uninterrupted boot.

First, just check a few things:

1. Is the CD-RW media okay, not damaged?

2. Does the writer support this media?

3. Do you use the proper speed to record the media? Most CD-RWs can't
   be recorded as fast as CD-Rs can.

Since introduction of atapicam (needs to be in your kernel) I
switched to the cdrecord utility, and sometimes I use cdrdao,
both availabe from ports.
