Heh. But there's more than one way to get a SCSI drive, thanks to Thomas 
Quinot... :-)

If you're running -STABLE (they're already in the tree for -CURRENT) you 
can apply the ATAPI-CAM patches from:

	http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/

There's two patches, and a few lines to add to the config file, and then 
your IDE CD/DVD/CD-RW becomes dual personality, like this:

acd0: CD-RW <DW-28E> at ata1-master PIO4
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a
cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd0: <TEAC DW-28E 1.0A> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
cd0: 16.000MB/s transfers
cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present

You can both hot-swap it out with 'atacontrol' and use it as a SCSI 
device. Works perfectly with 'cdrecord' for me.
