Upon further investigation, my problem was self-inflicted. I had swapped
some memory with another computer I was working on, and must have bumped
the ribbon cable from the cdrom drive to the motherboard. So, I am glad 
to report my ATAPI cdrom is working fine now. It's a Mitsumi FX410A quad
speed drive, and I've been using it with FreeBSD since 2.1.5. It's set up
as the master drive on the second ide controller.
I have seen some messages from people who had trouble getting FreeBSD to
work with certain ATAPI drives, though. What model do you have?
