In the kernel config file (/sys/i386/conf/YOURKERNEL) select the appropriate
CDROM driver (wcd for an ATAPI drive, scd for a Sony CDU etc.) See
/sys/i386/conf/LINT for hints.

Then run MAKEDEV in /dev and create your device

Then add a line like

/dev/?cd0               /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0

to your /etc/fstab

Security:
As _root_, do:

        # mount /cdrom
        # umount /cdrom

to see and hide your cdrom.
