 I've found a workaround to this problem on my system. Running the 
 following allows FreeBSD to detect the drive properly:
 (My CD drive is attached to ata5)
 
 ---------------------------------
 # atacontrol detach ata5
 # atacontrol attach ata5
 Master: acd0 <PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A/1.08> Serial ATA v1.0
 Slave:       no device present
 #                                            
 ---------------------------------
 
 ****Waiting at least one second between the detach and attach commands 
 is necessary for it to work.****
 
 Right now, I just wrote this little shell script and put it in 
 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and the drive is detected on bootup.
