You shouldn't do.  What you did shouldn't have any effect on the
problem.  You may find that sometimes it gets recognized, other times
it doesn't.

FreeBSD still has difficulties with some ATAPI CD-ROM drives.  If you
continue to have trouble (and I suspect you will), you should enter a
PR with send-pr or at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Make sure
to give exact details of your hardware and software configuration.
