I installed FreeBSD 2.1 with the "experimental" EIDE/CD-rom boot
floppy.

All went well! Now when I boot the CD-rom support don't seem to
be in the kernel.

1) Can i in some way use the kernel from the EIDE/CD-rom boot disk?

2) What shall I do to rebuild the kernel with support for EIDE/CD-rom
   support?

I actualy dont need CD-rom support all the time. I just need to 
install some extra packages from the CD... (so if it is possible to 
use the kernel from the floppy - that should be a quick nice solution
for me).
