By default for an ATA/ATAPI CDROM, you get an /dev/acd0 not a /dev/cd0
in FreeBSD.

[root@seaurchin ~]# ls -la /dev/cd0
ls: /dev/cd0: No such file or directory
[root@seaurchin ~]# ls -la /dev/acd0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0,  74 Feb  6 12:11 /dev/acd0
[root@seaurchin ~]#

To have a /dev/cd0 either use a scsi CDROM or kldload atapicam which
allows ATAPI devices to be accessed via the cam subsytem and will create
a /dev/cd0 node

[root@seaurchin ~]# kldload atapicam
[root@seaurchin ~]# ls -la /dev/cd0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 113 Feb  6 12:11 /dev/cd0

or just change the code to use /dev/acd0
