Detecting the device at boot time is just a vendor string in some memory somewhere. That is different then actually having support for the device in a driver. My digicom modem for instance was detected as a PnP device but the driver system failed to get resources for it even though the modem worked in linux and windows without any goofy winmodem drivers. I had to disable the PnP on the card and assign it to COM1 to get it recognized in FBSD. In Linux My CD-RW is detected at boot but is worthless as a burner (it does read though) without IDE-SCSI emulation enabled. ATAPI devices use a very similar protocol to SCSI. They are both packet based (ATA Packet Interface) and really similar. I haven't been home today to test the burner but I hope that you are correct and I won't have to build the kernel <again :)> a special way to get my burner to function as a burner and not just a reader.
