As a heads up, you didn't mention what platform you are trying to burn the
CD on. As you appear from your original message to have posted from a SPARC
then I'll guess you may be using that to burn a CD. 

Anyway, on non-i386 platforms the command is instead:

  cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cd0c image.iso

On the i386 platform the "d" partition is the "whole disk" with the "c"
partition the "whole NetBSD part". On everywhere else "c" is the whole
disk (no funny business). 

In the interest of being explicit, here's the command I use to burn CD's:

cdrecord dev=/dev/cd0d speed=4 -v -data image.iso

I'm on a i386 box with a burner that does 6x but my SCSI card isn't that
fast. I threw the "-data" option in because I like verboseness I guess.
