I've note similar activity with my CDROM drive(s).
You can see my Problem Report at:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=22577

You'll also notice a similar problem to mine at:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/12564

I solved some of my problems by doing a ro,noauto in
the options fields of fstab(5). Other than that check
with hackers@freebsd.org to see if someone has a fix.
If it's truely annoying, you might consider writing
a Problem Report at:

http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html 

or on your own system there is a send-pr(1)

				Hope this helps.
