I suppose it should work now, yes.

I'm not sure why acd works...it looks like it has its own disklabel handling
code, and doesn't use the disk mini-layer.  Do you get different results
from 'disklabel acd0' and 'disklabel -r acd0' with those CDs?  (With the
new code in the cd(4) driver, you should get the same thing from disklabel
and disklabel -r.)
