Sure enough, with a STABLE build, everything's back to normal:

ata0-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x45 cable=80pin
ata0-master: setting PIO4 on nVidia nForce3 chip
ata0-master: setting UDMA100 on nVidia nForce3 chip
ad0: <ST3200822A/3.01> ATA-6 disk at ata0-master
ad0: 190782MB (390721968 sectors), 387621 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA100
ata1-slave: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin
ata1-master: pio=0x0c wdma=0x22 udma=0x42 cable=40pin
ata1-master: setting PIO4 on nVidia nForce3 chip
ata1-slave: setting PIO4 on nVidia nForce3 chip
acd0: <HP DVD Writer 400/Bh04> CDRW drive at ata1 as master
acd0: read 6890KB/s (6890KB/s) write 4134KB/s (4134KB/s), 8192KB buffer,
PIO4 acd0: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, DVDROM, DVDR, packet
acd0: Writes: CDR, CDRW, test write, burnproof
acd0: Audio: play, 2 volume levels
acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked
acd0: Medium: no/blank disc
acd1: <ASUS CD-S480/AH/0.87> CDROM drive at ata1 as slave
acd1: read 8250KB/s (8250KB/s), 128KB buffer, PIO4
acd1: Reads: CDR, CDRW, CDDA stream, packet
acd1: Writes:
acd1: Audio: play, 255 volume levels
acd1: Mechanism: ejectable tray, unlocked
acd1: Medium: no/blank disc

Guess I'll stick with STABLE for the time being.  :-)
