If the system has ATAPICAM enabled, yes, ATAPI CD-ROM drives will show
up in "camcontrol devlist" as cd*, otherwise they will show up as acd*.
USB and Firewire devices use the SCSI layer, and will also show up as
cd*.
[ One also needs to have usb, umass, firewire, sbp, scbus, and da
devices enabled in the kernel for USB and 1394 devices... ]
