I guess I have to correct myself again. After cvsupping to the lastest
STABLE sources I saw that there were some ata* commits, and now, after a
make world, I can access the drive and the DVD apparently without
problems, but still have to enable atapi_dma in /boot/loader.conf. (The
DVD I tried to watch is Star Wars Episode I, which is more than 7 Gigs
large - maybe that was the problem, and the latest commits fixed this?)
