Hm. you're missing a "wcd0" line here. I'm hoping you just didn't paste
it in.

Try "mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom".

The message is encoded in the ``:im=:'' string.  The gettytab manpage
lists the %-sequences you can use.  If you prefer, you can put the
message in a file.  Remove the ``:im=:'' block from /etc/gettytab and
replace it with ``:if=/etc/issue:'' , then stick the message in
/etc/issue.
