FreeBSD has support for the proprietary "Creative" CD interface.  However, the
driver for this is no longer active in the kernel that is distributed with
the boot floppies.  They had to cut out some drivers for lack of space and
few people use that one anymore.

Once you have FreeBSD installed you can then recompile the kernel so as to
support your CDROM.  However, you will have to install FreeBSD from floppies,
or preferably via a network interface.
