Detecting the device at boot time is just a vendor string in some memory
somewhere. That is different then actually having support for the device
in a driver.  My digicom modem for instance was detected as a PnP device
but the driver system failed to get resources for it even though the
modem worked in linux and windows without any goofy winmodem drivers.

I had to disable the PnP on the card and assign it to COM1 to get it
recognized in FBSD.

In Linux My CD-RW is detected at boot but is worthless as a burner (it
does read though) without IDE-SCSI emulation enabled.  ATAPI devices use
a very similar protocol to SCSI.  They are both packet based (ATA Packet
Interface) and really similar.

I haven't been home today to test the burner but I hope that you are
correct and I won't have to build the kernel <again :)> a special way to
get my burner to function as a burner and not just a reader.
