I guess it won't work this way. Most of the time FreeBSD wants ATAPI 
CDROM's to be the slave of *something* (read as: a hard disk). If you 
don't have an IDE disk on your system there are two options:

1. Get one (it can be any old scrap metal that speaks IDE).
2. Use a SCSI CDROM (I assume that you're using SCSI for your hard disks 
if you don't have EIDE disks).
