Actually that is a pretty standard setup for cdrom,
you will find it like that in many preconfigured systems,
even though this one was custom built.

That's no reason to let it regress :)
And i think it was clear from the mail
that this one wasn't optimal.

AFAIR the setup ended being like that because
it wasn't possible to boot from ar0 around the
time (around 5.0?) the system came into life
(I really don't know anymore).

If you want to debug it i will let it like that and help you test
otherwise i just plug it into master and be done.
