I think you are confusing hotplug (physically add/remove a device while
the bus is powered) and just powering up a device later. I don't think
delayed powerup is a problem. Connecting a device at the wrong time
can damage the controller, though.
Regarding 'finding' devices later on so xcdroast doesn't whine: there
should be a script 'rescan-scsi-bus.sh' with xcdroast. Failing this, just
do
echo "scsi-add-single-device 0 0 n 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
where n is the SCSI ID of your CD writer,
