If TEAC is an atapi-cdrom, you can still mount it using the /dev/wcd0
device.  Make sure that wcd0 exists by executing as root

	# cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV wcd0c

and then use the normal atapi cdrom mounting command:

	# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

Then you can add the proper entry in /etc/fstab so as to be able to
mount it with the simpler command

	# mount /cdrom

The line that you should add in /etc/fstab should look like:

	/dev/wcd0c	/cdrom	cd9660	ro,noauto	0	0

You need to configure the Xfree86 first, by running (also as root):

	# XF86Setup

Then, follow the instructions on your monitor.  Keep handy the model of
your video adapter and it's timing information (you should be able to
find that in the monitor manuals somewhere) & the type of your monitor,
since the setup program will ask you for them.

Happy FreeBSD'ing :)
