The easiest way to burn a CD using an IDE CD writer in FreeBSD is with burncd, which is installed by default. No SCSI emulation is needed; but you need to install cdrtools from the ports to get mkisofs (which you have already done). If you have a SCSI CD burner, you can use cdrecord -- no SCSI emulation is needed. If you want to use cdrecord with an IDE CD writer (or plan to install an IDE DVD burner), you'll need to recompile your kernel with the following devices: device atapicam device ata device scbus device cd device pass (I think all but atapicam are configured in the default kernel.)
