Does it work for data, or is the problem for both sound and data? Also, 
the address you specified must be for the sound card, not the CD. The CD
doesn't have an address. It should read something like:

scully: {151} dmesg | grep wcd
wcd0: 0Kb/sec, 240Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray
wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked

I don't have a sound card, sorry. As for the boot from the DOS shell, I 
don't know of any because I don't need it. It doesn't mean there is none 
though. BTW, what's wrong with Ctrl+Alt+Del and then choosing to boot 
FreeBSD?
