Try configuring it as an ATAPI drive. I. e. configure a wdc controller
with the proper IRQ and IO-Port and a wcd0 drive hanging from it.
You also want to enable the options ATAPI and ATAPI-STATIC.  Have
a look at /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC and /sys/i386/conf/LINT for the
details. The manual page of wd (man 4 wd) might give some more
info.
