I actually did get it to work using the Debian "hotplug" package.

The problem was the machine still beeped like the world was ending.

The best way is still to suspend, swap, then come out of suspend.  If
you don't start with the cdrom in the ultrabay, you can use hotplug to
recan for new ide devices.
