It might be unrelated, but just out of curiousity:  the gentoo FAQ
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/faq.html) has an entry "I have a Sony
Super-Slim VAIO laptop, and the Gentoo Linux CD is having problems
finding my PCMCIA ATAPI CD-ROM." in the "2. Installation" section.
Who knows how to translate the LILO / Linux kernel centric answer
to FreeBSD speak?  This could be of help for some -mobile readers.

BTW could gentoo's "portages" system be of interest for *BSD users,
too.  This project doesn't look at all like the usual bloatware
desktop clicky Linux distro does but assumes an adult admin / user
instead. :)  It thinks to be attractive for Debian, "Linux from
scratch" and *BSD users ...
