As root you would type something like: mount /dev/cd0c /cdrom the /dev/cd0c refers to the device name, /cdrom is the mount point. at this point you can cd into /cdrom and read the cdrom. To unmount the device, type umount /cdrom. If you don't have the O'reilly Unix System Administrator's Guide--- get it--- great book!
