You probably need to add:
hw.cbb.start_memory="0x20000000"
to /boot/loader.conf. You might also need
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" and
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
(The last is not related to this problem, but is important if you want
to get decent performance from a CD reader.)

Use NEWCARD. I am guessing that you meant pccardd on the fatal
message. If that's the case, don't worry on NEWCARD as pccardd is not
used with NEWCARD. You do still need pccard_enable="YES" in rc.config.

If you still can't get things working, be sure to include your dmesg
in further inquiries.
