Yes, on NetBSD, on some other systems (apparently) the bus address
has to be handed off to cdrecord to tell it which device to use (I
guess it uses some kind of raw scsi interface, and does everything
itself).

But apparently the real problem is:

76nemo76%gmx.ch@localhost said:
  | The CD/DVD is not found by NetBSD. It's an USB 2.0 CD/DVD/BD writer
  | and it is not even recognised as a CDROM. 

And the dmesg output (from 9.0) was:

[     3.805742] uhub4 at uhub1 port 2: vendor 1a40 (0x1a40) USB 2.0 Hub (0x101), class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.11, addr 2

[     3.818273] uhub4: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
[...]
[   368.431581] uhub4: detached
[   368.431581] uhub4: at uhub1 port 2 (addr 2) disconnected
[   435.791321] uhub1: autoconfiguration error: device problem, disabling port 2

with nothing else (reported) about uhub4 or anything that might be connected
to it.   This is from plugging in the device after boot.   I would have
expected some other message before the sudden "detached" though, was there
nothing else at all?

On the other hand, when plugged in at boot time:

[     3.799579] uhub4 at uhub1 port 2: vendor 1a40 (0x1a40) USB 2.0 Hub (0x101), class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.11, addr 2

Someone who knows the USB code, and how the attach stuff is intended
to work, and can suggest what might be going wrong is needed here.
But if it can attach correctly at boot time, it should also attach
correctly later, I would have thought.

About all I can suggest is trying a current kernel (a kernel from HEAD)
just in case something has been fixed, and either not pulled up to
netbsd-9 (or that really was a 9.0 RELEASE kernel) or perhaps pulled up
after Feb 14.
