Did you install your system from cd? Just "cat /etc/fstab". There should be 
a line with the word cdrom in it. if this is true,
you can simply type "mount /cdrom". if not, have a look if the directory 
mnt/cdrom exists. normally you have only a directory /cdrom. after you 
created the dir you can type "mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /mnt/cdrom". if 
you are a bash user and you're using the filename completition, be careful. 
there mustn't be a slash at the end.

Betreff:	can't seem to get the CD ROM mounted.

I have been having trouble with my version of FreeBSD 3.0, I can't seem to
mount the CD ROM drive.   I first tried using "mount_cd9600 /dev/wcd0c
/mnt/cdrom" where wcd0c is the name of the cdrom device (this example is
assuming the cd is the master device on the secondary chain) and /mnt/cdrom
is the mount point you want to mount the cd at.  The closest I have come to
mounting the CDROM was using "mount /dev/wcd0c /cdrom" and I recieved the
following message:

mount: Input/Output Error

I did notice that the CDROM spun the disk once before comming up with this
error. I have checked the /etc/fstab file to make sure the entry for the
CDROM is there.   Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
