That was it! Thanks Mike! I'll explain the specific solution for future users with this problem: Kscd has a tool button for configuration. The button has a hammer and screwdriver drawn on it. Select the configuration button, and the Configuration Window will appear. The third tab in the Configuration window, KSCD Options, allows you to specify the CDROM device. I obtained the correct CDROM device by reading the CDROM entry in /etc/fstab. Althought KSCD wanted to use /dev/rmatcd0c, the correct device was /dev/acd0c. Once I made this correction, Kscd worked fine. Kscd will mount the CD for you. Happy Days!
