chio(1) should work with the `cdlu' sub-command, which is a slight hack
specifically for ATAPI changers (ATAPI doesn't support LUNs).
Basically, it would work like this:
chio -f /dev/rcd0d cdlu load 1
...to load the CD from the second changer slot.
You can also set the CHANGER environment variable to avoid having to use
the -f flag all the time :-)
