 load atapicam
 then it just boots acpi.ko

Normal behaviour. You need to load kernel too.
lsmod is useful command to list loaded modules.

Isn't lsmod a linux utility?
I always thought FreeBSD has kldstat?

Ahh. OK. My fault. I haven't got any problems with loader so even not used it 
too much.

I did.

perlcat.

srsly, what does dmesg and /dev say? CD's can be mounted through the USB bus 
or a different bus. My guess is that your CD isn't connected internally via 
PCI, and you're just missing a driver.
