Which controller is the CDROM on for your machine connected to? Is your CDROM jumpered correctly for slave/master operation? FreeBSD is a little more picky about hardware settings. If your CDROM is located on the secondary controller, and it is the only device, then you need to make sure it is jumper as a master device. (Many pc manufacturers ship their machines with the CDROM jumpered as a slave on the secondary controller, even if it is the only device on the channel.)
