kldload atapicam will do this
putting
atapicam_load="YES"
in /boot/loader.conf will do it every reboot.

This is silly, leave acd there, and you don't need SMP unless you have 
an SMP system (ie it is unrelated to this problem)

I think it's OK to stick with acd0.

The only time you *need* ATAPICAM is to burn CD/DVDs with something like 
growisofs or cdrecord, or you want to use cdda2wav.

How are you trying to play DVDs?
You should start by stating the problem you're trying to solve, not have 
it as a rider at the end of your email.

If you are using xine then you can make a dvd symlink in /dev and do 
xine dvd:/

If you edit /etc/devfs.conf and make sure it has these 2 lines..
# Commonly used by many ports
link    acd0    cdrom
link    acd0    dvd

then run
/etc/rc.d/devfs restart

it should do it for you.

Then DVD playing apps should find your drive OK. If not please give 
actual error messages and fully describe what you're trying.
