SCSI devices don't have IRQ's. I'll assume you mean SCSI IDs
here.

Sounds like your termination is hosed. Make sure that both the
CD and the harddrive have their terminators enabled. Go into the
controller setup (Ctrl-A at boot) and set termination OFF for the
low 8 bits and ON for the high 8 bits.
That should solve both your FreeBSD and DOS problems.
