I want to get an ISO from a CD. I was hoping I could create an ISO directly from it.  It appears 
I'm doing it wrong:

# mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/da1s1f on /home (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /slow (ufs, local)
/dev/da0s1e on /usr (ufs, NFS exported, local)
/dev/da1s1e on /var (ufs, local)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

# grep cdrom /etc/fstab
/dev/cd0a               /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

[root@xeon:~] # mount /cdrom
[root@xeon:~] # umount /cdrom

# dd if=/dev/cd0a of=/home/disc.iso
dd: /dev/cd0a: Invalid argument
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.005591 secs (0 bytes/sec)

I've also tried cd0c...rcd... etc.

Should I be copying the files to disk then doing a mkisofs?
