Why is my DVD /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0 after recompiling
kernel?!?

Hi,
Well, yesterday the inevitable finally happened: I lost my
'custom-kernel-compilation' virginity. :)
Indeed, when trying to burn a DVD using growisofs I quickly found out
(tnx Google!) that I had to add the atapicam device to the kernel.
This was done based on what I read here:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-November/026484.html
Now, similarly to what is described in those threads, on my box the DVD
is now also solely accessible through /dev/cd0 instead of /dev/acd0
(what it previously was).
Does anyone have any idea why this is?
Also: I just changed the entry for this device to cd0 in /etc/fstab such
that the command "mount /cdrom" works again.
Cheers!
Olafo
