I think we have a misunderstanding.
Just because it works in DOS does not mean that all is configured
correctly for FreeBSD. It does however mean that the drive is not
broken.
If your CDROM is connected to the primary IDE controller then you must
have device wdc0 in your kernel.
If your CDROM is connected to the secondary IDE controller then you must
have device wdc1 in your kernel.
If your CDROM is the first drive on the either controller then it must
be set to master.
If your CDROM is the second drive on the either controller then is must
be set to slave.
When trying to MAKEDEV the CDROM try this also.
/dev/MAKEDEV wcd0c <--- note the added c
Keep at it. You will figure it out.
