(NOTICE: i'm more of a lowlevel guy close to hardware guy not knowing much of freebsd internals) The fact that FreeBSD is NOT using HPET for timing might be the answer to the "mystery". The HPET hardware might be/get enabled but not handled and firing tons of unexpected interrupts (as you said.. linux produces tons of data into the log, what's the actual content of those logs?). These interrupts in turn might disturb the cd drive in some fashion? Can you bring up some interrupt statistics in freebsd? like a counter of the number of events?
