Upon further investigation, my problem was self-inflicted. I had swapped some memory with another computer I was working on, and must have bumped the ribbon cable from the cdrom drive to the motherboard. So, I am glad to report my ATAPI cdrom is working fine now. It's a Mitsumi FX410A quad speed drive, and I've been using it with FreeBSD since 2.1.5. It's set up as the master drive on the second ide controller. I have seen some messages from people who had trouble getting FreeBSD to work with certain ATAPI drives, though. What model do you have?
