This is the same problem I've been having.  If it's any consolation, once 
you have FreeBSD installed (even though you might have to do it by 
copying the appropriate directories of the CD-ROM to another partition on 
your hard drive or something equally hideous) then when you build a 
custom kernel, it will recognize your Mitsumi CD-ROM.  I don't know why 
the driver works for a custom kernel, but not in the boot disk, but I 
hope it gets fixed soon.
