Subject:   mount /dev/acd0c: Device not configured

I have in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/acd0c		/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0

and used to mount by saying "mount /cdrom".  Now it complains:

  thanatos# mount /cdrom
  cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Device not configured

What exactly is this error message trying to tell me? The device is in /dev:

  crw-r-----  2 root  operator  117,   0 Apr 24 10:29 acd0a
  crw-r-----  2 root  operator  117,   2 Apr 24 10:29 acd0c
  crw-r-----  2 root  operator  117,   0 Apr 24 10:29 racd0a
  crw-r-----  2 root  operator  117,   2 Apr 24 10:29 racd0c

I found accidentally that I *could* mount the "a" partition:

  thanatos# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0a /cdrom

but I thought the "c" parition was the entire disk, and the one that's
supposed to be mounted, not "a".  Has something changed recently with
paritions and slices? Am I missing something? Being stupid? 

Thanks.
