What version of FreeBSD are you trying to install?  The release
notes for 2.0.5-RELEASE indicate under supported disk controllers:

  ...
  Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers.
  ...

which is most likely your problem.  Assuming you have the Toshiba
3501 CD-ROM drive, I can assure you that the Toshiba is not the
problem.  (or maybe I'm just imagining that mine works??)

Get a different SCSI controller or help us to add support for the
TMC-1680 to the Future Domain driver in FreeBSD.  The latter
approach would be much preferred.  ;-)
