On this page, the following text appears: This driver allows ATAPI devices (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD drives etc...) to be accessed through the SCSI subsystem, and so allows the use of applications like sysutils/cdrdao or cdrecord(1). To use this driver, you will need to add the following line to the / boot/loader.conf file: atapicam_load="YES" then, reboot your machine. Is there any reason why one can't load the kernel module manually, at least for testing, without rebooting? I was able to do that just to satisfy myself that it camcontrol could see what I hoped it would.
