I suggest opening a bug about > it. I have 2 sata hard-drives, and 1 sata dvd-writer, all attached to the same controller (part of nvidia nforce4 southbridge). Despite of that, only hard-drive partitions are correctly detected... I tested gentoo-2008.0 on different computer, but again with sata-disk and sata-dvd, and this time P35-chipset (Intel). No problem! It seems to me the problem is in sata_nv module (nVidia chipset): it is loaded, but detects only disks, no cd/dvd drives. Maybe compilled without cd-filesystem support? FYI, I downloaded old good install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso, burned, booted, and gues what? All works! I'm going to open bug about it...
