Right, which is why I thought the problem is with file systems rather than the 
drive.

I should be able to. As I said, I'm running 5-STABLE, which has mount_udf.

yggdrasil# mount_udf -v /dev/acd1 /cdrom1
mount_udf: /dev/acd1: Device busy
yggdrasil# mount_udf -v /dev/acd1 /cdrom1
mount_udf: /dev/acd1: Input/output error

It doesn't seem so, unfortunately. Are there tricks to get more verbosity?

When I first put the disc in the access light flashes on and off for a while, 
and I get the 'Device busy' error during this time. After a while the access 
light just stays on and I get the I/O error. (With a CD or movie DVD, the 
access light will flash and then turn off until something is mounted/played.)
