In addition to all of this, I would strongly suggest that you try: hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" # Run the CD-ROM/DVD in DMA mode in /bvoot/loader.conf. While Soren has warned that lots of ATAPI CDs don't work right in DMA, I have found it is a major win and about the only way to playa DVD on a system and have not had a problem with any CD or DVD on any of my systems.
