I'll bet this CDROM is an ATAPI (IDE) CDROM. If so, *don't* connect it to 
the SoundBlaster, but rather as either the slave on the primary IDE 
controller (with your hard disk) or as the master on the secondary IDE 
controller. FreeBSD will then probably pick it up just fine. Make sure 
you have the CD in the drive when you boot.
