Hey Tom,
I Had A Problem That You Could Consider Similar To This.
I Had 2 Cd-Roms, An Old Junker, And A Sony CDU-928E,
The Junker Was Set As Master, And The Sony As Slave.
Linux Recognized Both Drives, But FreeBSD Didn't Recognize
Either.  So I Pulled The Old Junker And Reset The Sony
To Master And FreeBSD Found It.

Hope This Gives You Some Ideas...  Or Something....
