Hmm, AFAIR cdrecord only works with SCSI drives (or IDE through SCSI
emulation with atapicam), or do I remember incorrectly?

The paragraph continues with "If you're using an IDE CD-R drive, use
the built-in burncd command." - isn't that sufficient?

 You're right. I'm sorry. Cdrecord now supports IDE devices without using
 scsi-emu in linux. But as Josef told me not in FreeBSD.

 Sorry for confusing. Please close this bug.

Well, as I said originally it is possible with atapicam, which is not
in GENERIC.

IMO it just confuses the issue (in a simple README which should not be
detailed) to start talking about atapicam, so I will reopen the PR for
now, but I do not plan to work on it unless somebody submits a good
patch.

Whether cdrecord supports ATAPI drives or not is irrellevant.  This 
readme just includes a quick note that says we recommend cdrecord for 
SCSI and burncd for ATA.  One reason we recommend cdrecord only for 
the SCSI case, is because people spend too much time figuring out 
wheter or not cdrecord will work for their ATAPI drive when they could 
just use burncd and be done with it.   

We are just giving pointers to some possible tools, not documenting 
the features of those tools. 

Thanks for the submission.
