  Thanks for your help.   Though I still haven't found the solution,
it seems I've got a bit closer to it.   I had read some documents in
the cdrecord site, which made me pessimistic when I post the first message,
but then after I read those in NetBSD site it seems quite easy.
Now I have following questions:

   1.  Is it OK to download the origial source of cdrecord (1.9?) and build
       binaries without any patch?  It seems the document which introduces
       the feature of NetBSD says YES.

   2.  Are we suppose to utilize /dev/scsibus0 (NetBSD 1.5's new feature?),
       or we should specify the device directly such as dev=/dev/rcd0d?
   
  Maybe I should simply download the package & install it, but
I thought I should know how it works when I use other software like
tosha, which some document says it only works on FreeBSD box, but
a NetBSD document says it also works on our boxes.
