I had the same problem with my ATAPI cd drive (I only just solved it and
got the RiscBSD sets installed last night).  I solved it using a method
outlined in the riscBSD FAQ - I cant remember the actual commands, but
it's under "Can I use my ATAPI cd rom drive with riscBSD ?" and the
solution basicly configures the device. 

Cheers.
