Hello,

2.2.6 has problems with using ATAPI CDROMs

I had to update manually atapi.c and and atapi.h in the sources of the
kernel to get it going smoothly.

I would suggest to install 2.2.6 from a FAT partition, disable the
second WDC interface (on which you connect the CD-ROM) and then upgrade
your sources via cvsup to "make world" with a newer version of FreeBSD
(cvsup and make world are covered in the handbook).
