Brian,

Edit these files and add:

/boot/loader.conf
-----------------
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"            
hw.ata.ata_dma="1"

 ^^^  this takes care of the DMA for cdrom.



/etc/sysctl.conf
----------------
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864        
kern.ipc.shmall=32768
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4                            
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4

 ^^^ this is from an article by Dru Lavigne regarding 
Sound config on FreeBSD:
