"mount /cdrom". The definitions are in /etc/fstab, but you don't
need to fizzle with them unless you have to change something.

Yes. If you are adventurous, go to /sys/i386/conf, copy GENERIC to
YOURNAME, check through LINT for "pcm" and add that to YOURNAME.
Run "config YOURNAME", "cd ../../compile/YOURNAME", "make depend",
"make", "make install" and "reboot now"

If this goes a little too fast, start reading at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html, it tells you
all about the mysteries regarding kernels and how to create one.

"telnet 0 80"? Does it still give a connection refused message?
