I saw a message during the boot-up process in my System that says something 
about "hw.ata.atapi_dma" in my /etc/sysctl.conf is a readonly is a setting 
and mentioned about setting it at /boot/loader.conf.
After setting "hw.ata.atapi_dma=0" in my /boot/loader.conf, I am able to 
mount a CD in my drive.
I am planning to compile my kernel with "device atapicam" because burncd 
does not support it...I need to use cdrecord...

Again, my apologies for replying to my own post..
