CAM does not have a fixed block size.  You are seeing lack of support for
the CDRIOCSETBLOCKSIZE ioctl in cd(4).  This question comes up from time
to time and becomes a question of the duplication of cd(4) by atapicd.
The best thing for users is to probably go out and duplicate CD* ioctls in
cd(4) and later merge the two.
