Well, while trying to do it all yourself is a good way to learn, so is asking the avice of those more knowledgeable -- and it usually gets you a quicker solution to your problems. You say you've still not got a working CD Rom. Presumably you want us to help you get it to work, as a step towards learning more about FreeBSD and computers in general? In which case, you need to help us to help you. A vague question like "how can I fix my CD Rom" cannot really have a useful answer -- you need to tell us exactly what it is about your CD Rom that isn't behaving in the way you expect -- what commands you typed, and what the system response was. Tell us also what you've tried to do to fix the problem, and why it didn't work. In fact, preparing a question in this way will often clarify things in your own mind, so that you suddenly see the answer or think of a few more things to try. Leaping out of your chair, striking your forehead and yelling "D'Oh! It so obvious!" would not be an unusual reaction.
