I tried -s {1,2,4} and all returned EIO.

When I first got this laptop before I installed DragonFly I booted it
with the original Windows XP install and a dialog box popped up that
asked if I wanted to use the drive in DVD or CD mode or some such
rubbish.  I am wondering now if there is some config register in the
hardware that has to be set to switch between CD and DVD modes (I
guess for writing since reading CDs works).

After rebooting the LBA restarted at 0 and increments after each
attempt.
