Hi turlough,
Do you have configured your kernel for cdrom ?
Try to add the lines:

options         "CD9660"                #ISO 9660 Filesystem
.
.
.
options         ATAPI   #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
device          wcd0    #IDE CD-ROM

and recompile the kernel.
If this not works, you can try my modified "wd.c" from:
"btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de:/pub/FreeBSD/wdpatch/"
Login as ftp, password your Email
You can also use "http://btp1da.phy.uni-bayreuth.de/pub_ftp/".

Hope this helps,
Werner
