You need to recompile the kernel after enabling the ATAPI option and its companion wdc0 driver. Go to directory /usr/src/sys/i386/conf and copy the file GENERIC to some other appropriate name for your machine, and edit the copied file. Full directions and explanations are given in the handbook. You can ust the opportunity to comment out a bunch of devices you don't use, to shrink down the resulting kernel. There have also been some recent posts about cdroms in this group. I hope this helps!
