I have now made a couple of discoveries:

adding the following device to my kernel config:

# ATA and ATAPI devices
#device         ata
device          ata0 at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14

means the controller is detected, however the DVD is only detected if I
interupt the loaders autoboot and 'boot -v'

strangely setting /boot/loader.rc  to do a boot -v results in failure, as
does interupting the auto boot and simply 'boot' ing.

I am tempted to attribute this to the ata/alpha problem discussed elsewhere
on this list, except I have also had problems detecting this DVD on an
FreeBSD x86 machine.

The following is the result of dmesg | grep ata after a boot -v

ata0: iobase=0x01f0 altiobase=0x03f6 bmaddr=0x0000
ata0: mask=03 status0=51 status1=00
ata0: mask=03 ostat0=51 ostat2=00
ata0-master: ATAPI probe a=14 b=eb
ata0-slave: ATAPI probe a=00 b=00
ata0: mask=03 status0=51 status1=00
ata0: devices=04
ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0
ata0: interrupting at ISA irq 14
ata0-master: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=-1 dmaflag=1
acd0: <CREATIVEDVD6630E/b13A> DVD-ROM drive at ata0 as master
acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked


When no CD is detected ...

ata0 at port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 irq 14 on isa0
ata0: interrupting at ISA irq 14
ata0-master: identify retries exceeded
