I had that problem also.. it booted and ran the installation but then would not see it on the install.
I have a 48x atapi and scsi 1540 on a Phillips burner. FreeBSD is very picky about the atapi cdroms. It currently only supports Sony(proprietary interface) and Mitsumi, and a few others. You might want to determine the hardware (io@,Irq,dma) for your CDROM and manually set the resources in the CLI kernel config. You might get lucky that way.
Hopefully 4.0 will be better about the atapi interface. I used a scsi to install mine..
I hope someone has a better answer than mine

Subject: Installing FreeBSD 3.4
Hello.
I am currently trying to install FreeBSD 3.4 on a "white box" clone system.
It gets to the point to where I select the installation method and it will not let me install from CD-ROM. It says that it could not detect a CD-ROM drive. How is this possible, when I booted from the CD and started the install from the CD?
Please advise as to what steps to tkae to get FreeBSD to recognize my CD-ROM drive.
It is a Delta IDE 48x Model #: OIP-CD4800A
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
