There are two different things you are asking about here -- emulating
a FreeBSD box for userland purposes (which we can do -- see the whole
compat_ stuff) and accessing a CD ROM drive. The two are totally
unrelated.

If you are having CD ROM trouble, you should make sure your CD ROM
drive is supported by NetBSD, and check to make sure that you
configured it into your kernel and that it probed properly during
autoconfiguration. NetBSD currently primarly supports SCSI CD-ROM
drives -- support for ATAPI is available as a patch kit, but is not
part of the primary distribution. We also support the (obsolete)
Mitsumi CD-ROM drive/controller combos.
