my cd0 is a pata atapi dvdrom drive and i have the following in my kernel conf:

device          atacore
device          ahci
device          atajmicron
device          atapci
#device         atapicd
device          atapicam

device          umass
device          scbus
device          cd
device          pass
device          da
device          random
device          pty
device          md

the dmesg entries for cd0 are:

cam_periph_alloc: attempt to re-allocate valid device cd0 rejected
cdasync: Unable to attach new device due to status 0x6
cd0 at ata2 bus 0 scbus8 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10N JL12> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd0: cd present [2149024 x 2048 byte records]

cheers.
