Even if you setup a master device on the same cable with the "pseudotroubled" one it won't work. I don't know why, but on my kernel from which I removed all SCSI support it then worked. For you, with a CDRW... if you remove SCSI support (including ATAPICAM) the cdrdao will not work any more... It seems a FreeBSD's problem with using removable ATAPI devices. The floppy controller behaves strangely with ACPI activated, for example... This is a minus for the FreeBSD, a very stable and secure system...
