U ise mkhybrid, cdrecord, gcombust and cdrdao for CD-R and can de
pretty much everything I want. I don't think it's much different for
CD-RW.

I think you should have the buffer disk at the other IDE channel than
the CD-RW drive. And "some NetBSD users" are right, in fact you really
want a SCSI drive :) The price difference is not as big as it is for
disks.
