This is all I added to /etc/devfs.conf.  I thin added my user to the  
group cd_access.  I and any programs I run can use /dev/acd0 without  
problems.  You would add another set for for acd1(or whatever a dvd  
would be).  BTW, your devfs.conf only shows 1 cdrom as master, no dvd  
or second drive is mentioned in there.


own     /dev/acd0       root:cd_access
perm    /dev/acd0       0770
