Try:    mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom

 Also, why not create (as root) the following two files?

in /usr/local/bin
create a file called "cdin" with two lines

#!/bin/sh
mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom

Then:    chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/cdin

 Now you can insert a CD, type "cdin" and voila.

 Alternatively, to unmount the sucker..

in /usr/local/bin
create a file called "cdout" with these 3 lines:

#!/bin/sh
umount /cdrom
cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0c eject

Then:    chmod 744 /usr/local/bin/cdout

 Now you can type "cdout" and voila
