Aparently not.  I checked previously.  That's why I thought the question 
worthy of post to freebsd-mobile and freebsd-stable as well.

The question remains.  When the CDROM is attached, it moves the disk from 
/dev/wd0 to /dev/wd1 and inserts itself as /dev/wd0, fouling up /etc/fstab and 
causing a panic.  Is there a good way to detect the CD in /etc/rc so I can 
select an /etc/fstab as a function of whether the CD is attached?
