You should see a probe line if the ATAPI driver attached to your CD(s). E.g.: acd0: CD-RW at ata1-master using UDMA33 acd1: DVD-ROM at ata1-slave using UDMA33 Next make sure acd0 is really the CD-ROM drive you think it is (if you have multiple). Then (just to verify), "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV acd0". Then double check that the CD you have in there really is a data CD (FWIW trying to mount an audio CD generates EINVAL [Invalid argument]). Slap this entry in your /etc/fstab (for acd0): /dev/acd0c /cd cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 mkdir /cd, and mount /cd.
