Hey there,
	IIRC NetBSD does not support Firewire, so for CD burning I see two  
options... The DIY style: extend the IDE cable outside of the iMac to  
plug a regular DVD-RW. Option 2: They use to make burners for these  
iMac, so you could seek online for one, but I'm unsure you'll find  
anything else than a CD-RW and it will be pricey... As for the second  
problem I really have no idea.

Good luck
