I just made one (thanks for the tip) and it booted up on a Dell with a:

atapibus0 at pciide0 channel 1
cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: <CD-ROM CDU701, , 1.0r> type 5 cdrom removable
cd0: 32-bit data port
cd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2

I didn't do anything different, other than -no-iso-translate instead of -a
as -a doesn't seem to appear in my mkisofs, though it does in the manpage.
FWIW:

# mkisofs -version
mkisofs 1.13 (i386-unknown-netbsd1.5E)
# cdrecord -version
Cdrecord 1.9 (i386-unknown-netbsd1.5E) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
