I've seen such error when in-system cd-recording support, either in
freebsd or in dragonfly, was fundamentally broken -- or uncapable of
handling hardware and/or medium. Sometimes it came to writing 896 Kb
and bailing out with similar message about -1. Sorry I can't be more
specific, it's all from memory.

burncd doesn't require SCSI support, though cdrecord does.  It's stopping
before writing any data at all, which makes me wonder: Is there only one
CD burner in this system?  Is it located at /dev/acd0c?  Is there a CD in
it?  Is the CD blank?
