Well, as I showed in my original message, I was able to mount the CD as
a cd9660 file system, so it appears to work.

Well, /var/run/dmesg.boot says:

acd0: setting PIO4 on ICH3 chip
acd0: setting UDMA33 on ICH3 chip
acd0: <HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD-ROM GCC-4241N/A100> CDRW drive at ata0 as slave

acd0: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, DVDROM, DVDR, packet
acd0: Writes: CDR, CDRW, test write, burnproof

acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked
acd0: Medium: no/blank disc

And atacontrol says:

Password:

    Slave:  acd0 <HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD-ROM GCC-4241N/A100> ATA/ATAPI
revision 5
ATA channel 1:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
localhost(6.1-P)[4] 

(Why the laptop was set up so that both devices are on the same channel,
I doubt I'll ever know.)

OK; well, I s'pose it's some small comfort to be aware that I'm not the
only one seeing the apparent issue....  :-}

I could boot from a different slice, and exercise 7-CURRENT (from
yesterday -- I didn't have time to build today's -CURRENT yet), if that
might help.

Peace,
