I started seeing a problem a few days ago with one of my DVD drives (a
burner at cd0) under 9-current, which makes it impossible to use it even
to simply read a DVD.

Here the (rather strange IMO) output in dmesg:

cd0: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N 1.00> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 66.700MB/s transfers (UDMA4, PIO size 65534bytes)
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: UNIT ATTENTION, Power on, reset,
or bus device reset occurred
cd1 at ata0 bus 0 scbus6 target 1 lun 0
cd1: <TSSTcorp DVD-ROM SH-D162D SB01> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd1: 33.300MB/s transfers (UDMA2, PIO size 65534bytes)
cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present -
tray closed

I haven't the foggiest why cd0 behaves diffrently from cd1, which is a
vanilla DVD drive and just works.
