Are you sure it's IDE? What type of Sony CD-ROM is it? Does it have
its own ISA card? If it does, it is a Sony proprietary CD-ROM that
uses the scd0 device (not IDE).

Go into the kernel configuration when you boot off of the floppy and
disable the devices you do not need, but make sure to leave that
one. If you have FreeBSD already installed, make sure to include scd0
in any custom kernels you make.
