If the CD is a standard computer CD (with an iso-9660 filesystem), you
should be able to just do this:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom

You seem to be not sure as to whether your CD-ROM is /dev/cd0c or
/dev/acd0c. I believe SCSI CD-ROMs are /dev/cd0c, while ATAPI
CD-ROMs are /dev/acd0c. You can `cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep
cd` to confirm what device to use for CD.
