scsi emulation

I installed Xcdroast, which I am familiar with from Linux days.
My CD-ROM and CD-RW are atapi devices, so I need scsi emulation to make it work with Xcdroast.
In Linux, this would be accomplished by passing a parameter to the kernel in the boot loader (GRUB or LILO), like this:
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi
And it would also require some changes to /etc/fstab, which currently looks like this:
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/acd1 /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
I'm not sure how one passes parameters to BSD's boot0 boot manager. Both GRUB and LILO have a configuration file that can be edited. I'm not sure if boot0 has a configuration file, though perhaps /boot/device.hints is what I want, but I can't make much sense out of the syntax of what I see in that tile.
I'd be very appreciative if anyone can tell me how to force scsi emulation for these two CD devices.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
