I don't get anything but a freeze.
But I'm looking up atacontrol(8) right now, maybe look into which mode
I'm running.
And ata(4) states as follows: 
ATAPI devices are set to PIO mode by default because severe DMA problems
     are common even if the device capabilities indicate support.  You can
     always try to set DMA mode on an ATAPI device using atacontrol(8), but be
     aware that your hardware might not support it and can potentially hang
     the entire system causing data loss.
