Try commenting out or modifying the first active line in 
/etc/sylog.conf. If that doesn't work there's probably no simple way to 
do it.

Well, there is not drive itself, so seems to be related to the
controller... I have deleted as well the old /dev/* which was assigned
previously to the old drive... without any luck...

Of course; as it seems to me, this message may not have
something to do with an actual mounting attempt, so you
can leave the fstab entry intact.

Hmm... interesting. So the error message is printed by
the kernel, but not brought into relationship with a
certain device.

That's normal, it is a diagnostic message printed out
by the kernel. You'll find it in the dmesg output, as
well as probably in /var/log/messages and related message
files.



Still, the question is: Is it related to the drive, or
maybe to the controller the drive sits on?

It is basically flooding the terminal at the logon prompt... I was
able to connect trough ssh (to avoid the flooding) and remove the cd0

when decompile the atapi module from kernel now the error is a bit different:

Okay, next question: What are you trying to do when
this error occurs? Is it the diagnostic message on
startup (when acd drives are inquired regarding their
potential content), or when accessing a CD or DVD?

The error message indicates, basically, that some
process (or program) is asking the drive for
something, and the drive doesn't answer back
correctly. Very technical explaination, I know. :-)

In order to find out if this is a critical message,
more information is needed.

You really need to send all error messages before anyone can comment on 
your problems. It is very unlikely, practically impossible, that the 
simple change in the number of CD/DVD devices causes any error by itself.


The only (not likely) way this could happen is if you automatically 
mount the CD devices from fstab, which is usually not done.



I have recompile the kernel without atapi modules on it. but problem still
persist.


Which points to the theory it is not causing your problems.


There is any option to reconfigure all the hardware without re-installing,
(something like the Repair option for NT systems)?


Unix kernels (recent ones) do not "configure" the hardware in a 
persistant way like Windows does via the Registry. All hardware is 
autodetected on boot every time. There is nothing to "repair" here.


You will probably need to send all boot messages received from the 
FreeBSD system during boot, including the error messages, before anyone 
can help you.

Could you tell the exact error (error message welcome)?

So then it is using a SCSI type of interface for the CD
drive?

No, because it isn't needed. FreeBSD automatically loads
the drivers for the hardware that is present. Additional
hardware can be accessed via loadable modules (which's
functionality you can include into the kernel by compiling
your own, but it mostly isn't neccessary).



Again, a copy of the error message or more detailed
explaination of possibly malicious behaviour would really
help to recognize the problem, and to help correcting it.
