Please respond ASAP with information describing which version of
FreeBSD it is you're talking about here.  Your bug report is
essentially useless to us without that information, and I can further
state that if you're trying to mix an IDE CDROM drive with a 2.1.x
release of FreeBSD then you're probably wasting your time.  IDE CDROM
support did not solidify until the 2.2 branch was released and if you
are not attempting this installation from that release branch, you
need to get more up to date release media and try this again.
