[0]I need some help with a CD-ROM interface.  This is a new installation.  
[0]I'm a FreeBSD newbie too.  I have a Creative Labs CT1830 interface and a 
[0]Funai E2550UA drive.  From what I can determine, this drive is a 
[0]Panasonic/Creative interface and so is the card. 

This drive does connect to the Panasonic/Creative electrical
interface, but has a completely different command set and is not
supported by FreeBSD.  The only supported Panasonic/Creative interface
drives at this time are the CR-562 and CR-563, both made by Matsushita.

This is covered in the HARDWARE.TXT and other readable files in the
root directory on the CD-ROM.
