   Is FreeBSD soon to have ATAPI-IDE CD-ROM support? It seems as though this 
   is becoming much more popular and widespread than the proprietary types, 

In at least BETA quality, yes, I hope so.  I'll be making a separate
boot floppy available for IDE CDROM so that there's no chance of it
mucking up the standard install floppy.
