Hya,
I've had ATAPI cdroms as secondary master. FreeBSD is just terribly picky
about the jumper settings. There are usually three jumpers, so with 8
reboots you have tried all options.
One of them will work, I am sure, especially with newer cdrom players.

PS. You could ditch IDE for SCSI and then you would have no trouble at all.
That's what I did. :-)
