2.1.5 has support for ATAPI built into boot.flp
You may need to Boot: -c, visual and disable all devices not in use.
Of course config the ones needed.

It also appears that FreeBSD prefers ATAPI CD's as Slave on the
Primary controller.

If all esle fails either install from a primary dos partition or floppies.

-Enjoy
