Check your model number against the those listed as supported in the handbook. (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html)  Not all of the matsushita drives (not all of the different
models/revisions) are supported by the matsushita cdrom driver.  I am using a matsushita drive which is only usable through the ATAPI interface and not the matcd driver.
