About those types. I read that it according to kind of CD and kind of
Sound card. And id is interface number.
I think ( but not sure ) that mine is
type 0 id 1
I also read in dejanews something about FreeBSD
not recognize CD only when it configured as CD no. 0 and
CD no. 1.
May it be the problem?

As I understand the driver was not changed since 1995,
so it does not really matter, but I tried it on 2.2 and 2.2.1.
my kernel says 'matcdc0 not found at 0x230'
BTW I tried to turn on debug options in /sys/i386/isa/matcd/options.h,
byt could not compile kernel with it :{)
I really, without any reason, think that it is problem with timeout
while probing the CD, becuase, I see lamp goes on, but kernel is not
waiting and moves on. I know that in Linux ( don't flame ) it takes
about a minute for CD to initialize, that'a why I allways compiled it as a
module on demand. Every time I ran xmcd or mount /dev/sbpcd my it took
about minute to initialize the CD.
How long it takes to your kernel initialize your CDs?
Thank again for your help.
