Presuming a good cable, this looks very much like a hardware (and its onboard 
firmware) issue from where I sit.

I've had one of the R&D boxen with the JMicron JMB363 controller turned 
back-to-front for a month, didn't notice it was equipped with an ancient 48X CD 
unit that had been seriously problematic on early 4.X.

On either a GA G33-DS3R or Asus P5K, there has been no difficulty with what it 
sees as a "CD-948E/TKU/T4B" on acd0.

Spins it up and takes a, extra few seconds (only) to sneak a peek at the media 
during boot if there IS any media, else not, but no significant delay.

Thereafter it has been used to install a great many odds and sods to Qemu host, 
sometimes left attached to the guests and media ejected/changed, again w/o 
hiccups from either CLI or xfce4. Never an errmsg, and operates fast.

FreeBSD 6.X, 7-CURRENT, 7-PRE, 7-BETA1, 8-CURRENT, both i386 & AMD-64.

Mind - this is a pretty 'basic' unit as well as obsolete, but I'd still suggest 
trying the system with one or more other CDR/DVD - even antiques - than the one 
you now have to see if the problem migrates with the drive hardware rahter than 
the MB/controller or OS.
