Hi, Mark,
 
My CDROM is an IDE device, not proprietry device, and CDROM type is 
CR-583.  
I follow your instructions to delete "controller matcd0" in kernel 
config
file, then compile kernel, reboot. FreeBSD CAN detect it, but I reboot 
it
again, FreeBSD CAN'T detect CDROM, and I try  many times, still fails :(
Is it FreeBSD problem or my CDROM problem, I really don't know.
 
P.S. I set my CDROM is secondary primary.
 
Regards,
Albert.
