A not-so-known thing about FreeBSD:
I wanted to duplicate a disk, but couldn't for the life of me get it to work - how the H#&& do I get the SCSI-emulator to work, grrrr!!
Then I found burncd, worked right off the IDE, just like I would have done it.
".. just like I would have ... hmm, lets try .."

# cat /dev/acd0 >file.iso

YES! That is the way to duplicate a disk under FreeBSD:

You cat the CD and pipe it to the CD-R!

I became a _dedicated_ BSD fan after that :-)

asr

ASR(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    ASR(4)

NAME

     asr -- driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI/ATA host bus adapters

SYNOPSIS

     device asr

DESCRIPTION

     The Adaptec asr driver provides access to disks and disk arrays controlled by I2O based host bus adapters and SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters
     through the standard SCSI disk da(4) interface.

     The supported adapters provide 64 bit PCI, Compact PCI, Zero Channel PCI, and up to four channels of Ultra2, Ultra 160, or Ultra320 SCSI, or
     two channels of 1GB Fibre.  All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and RAID-50 arrays.  All SCSI target types are supported.	For the
     ATA based controllers, one IDE drive per channel is supported.  Hot-swapping of IDE drives is not supported at this time.

     All host bus adapters must be configured before they can be used with any operating system.  Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the
     latest information on configuration utilities for the adapters.  Currently there are both a Motif based GUI configuration utility and a CLI
     based configuration utility available from the Adaptec Web site.  The cards and arrays can also be configured via the BIOS based configura-
     tion tool (SMOR).

HARDWARE

     The adapters currently supported by the asr driver include the following:

     o	 Adaptec Zero-Channel SCSI RAID 2000S, 2005S, 2010S, 2015S
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S, 2110S
     o	 Adaptec ATA-100 RAID 2400A
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S, 3210S
     o	 Adaptec SCSI RAID 3400S, 3410S
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM1554
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM1564
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2554
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2564
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2664
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2754
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM2865
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3754
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3755U2B / SmartRAID V Millennium
     o	 Adaptec SmartRAID PM3757
     o	 DEC KZPCC-AC (LVD 1-ch, 4MB or 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-CE (LVD 3-ch, 64MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XC (LVD 1-ch, 16MB cache), DEC KZPCC-XE (LVD
	 3-ch, 64MB cache) -- rebadged SmartRAID V Millennium

FILES

     /dev/asr*	Adaptec SCSI RAID control nodes

NOTES

     The ATA based controllers present their devices as SCSI-like devices via CAM.  For IDE drives attached to these cards, a subset of standard
     SCSI commands and mode pages are understood via translation performed in the card's firmware.

SEE ALSO

     da(4)

HISTORY

     The asr (Adaptec SCSI RAID) driver first appeared as the dpti2o driver under BSDi BSD/OS 3.2, then under FreeBSD 2.2.8 and was ported over to
     the CAM layer represented in 4.0.

AUTHORS

     The asr driver was kindly donated by Adaptec and is maintained by Mark Salyzyn <mark_salyzyn@adaptec.com>.  This manual page was written by
     Mark Salyzyn and fixed up by Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai@FreeBSD.org>.
