Yes, well known RELENG_4 -> 6 (maybe even 5) regression. Same here with

acd0: CDRW <CD-W540E/1.0C> at ata1-master UDMA33

Worked fine under RELENG_4, fails to wait for completion under RELENG_6.

See my report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/95344
And: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/104270

The last one contain a fix.
This fix doesn't help me.

Serg.

P.S.: Don't use burncd. Use cdrecord!
IMHO it isn't correct approach to avoid use of the tool _instead_ of
fixing
it. This way, all your tools will be broken one day ;)

Sincerely, Dmitry
Since this is a very old and well known issue, and it seems there is no
one left solcing/developing this tool, it should be removed from the
source tree for the time it is to said broken.
burncd had some nice advantages over cdrecord: it came from the BSD
tree, it had capabilities for burning DVD+RW images. Disadvantage was
the limitation to ATA interface.

Someone should suggest the stripp off the sources via PR?

There are times when 'ls' doesn't work quite right for me. I propose
removing that from the FreeBSD tree ASAP. In fact, anything that hasn't
had a commit in a year should be removed, since it is obviously
abandoned, not working, and useless. Obviously.

Or the kernel, that sometimes also gives us problems ;)

Or, we can not say silly things like, "you didn't fix X for me, so it
should be removed from the FreeBSD tree."
