Claude,

Thanks for digging into this a bit.

I just added some code to make it easier for applications to detect
at runtime if ATA_CAM has been configured in the kernel:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-stable-9/2011-October/000114.html

I am not 100% sure how the CD driver works with ATA_CAM.

I think you might need to look at:

src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c

and also read the cd(4) man page.

We may need to extend scsi_cd.c, but I'm not sure.
