Is the kernel seeing your CD-ROM when it boots? If not, make
your kernel configuration files contain these lines:
options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus
options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM
device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM
Then, rebuild your kernel.
To mount the CD-ROM as a file system, you want to issue this command:
/sbin/mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom
The "/cdrom" parameter is the name of an existing directory. It doesn't
need to be called "/cdrom"; you can mount the CD anywhere you want.
