After all nights work and wiping out the c drive several times, I 
finally got the BSD to install. Now I can boot into the FreeBSD,
and the question I have, is whether I can now get it to recognize
my cd-rom drive? I came across a thread saying something like
"option atapi" something, and I found a file named "atapi.flp"
in the web site. Can I now set it up to see my cd-rom now?

Your reply is greatly appreciated.

p/s: I have P133, 16M ram, and Sony CDu76-Es quad speed cd-rom.
