Well, that seems to have worked (under -STABLE, anyway; I expect the
same issue exists for -CURRENT).  I confess it was a tad awkward
(compared to my recollection of previous behavior), but it's a lot
better than rebooting to swap devices, that's for sure.  :-)

Ah; I wouldn't have had a way to be aware of that (absent someone
mentioning it, as you did): thanks.

It could (possibly) have been a real difference between the machines,
too, since I'm now using a "real" i5000e, while before, I was using a
"similar" machine.

And I guess I just "got lucky" with the DVD drive.  :-}

Thanks,
