I assume you're trying to configure the mcd0 device, which is for the proprietary Mitsumi interface which was common several years ago. All you need to do is enable the wdc1 device and cross your fingers. I suggest trying to set up your CDROM as a slave to the hard disk. FreeBSD appears to detect things best this way.
