I can not state why the heck WINDOZE configures the drive and FreeBSD
does not. MY best guess is that it is a PLUG AND PRAY issue. I had
precisely the same problem.

The above tells you that the kernel is correctly configured.

The above is the correct commandline assuming that /cd exists

Very good. I would have asked "is there a CD in the drive" had you not
stated so.

Your system is configured exactly like mine. I had the same trouble as
you. I switched the jumper and now my trouble is gone. Check it out.
I came by this answer using a process of elimination. Can someone give a
more authoritative explantion on jumper settings and drives to this
fellow. I am too new to be 100% certain that I have the solution to
this problem nailed down.
If I can get some authoritative response on jumper settings I will make
a submittal to freebsd-docs to get the FAQS to include this discussion.
I have seen many people with correctly configured systems ask how to get
their IDE CDROM working during my 2 months reading this list. These
users all report device not configured.

Hope this helps.
