wdc0 ist the IDE controller, not the CD-ROM drive.
Look for acd0 (ATAPI CD-ROM drive) in your boot messages.
Type this command: dmesg | grep acd
If it's not there, it's probably missing in your kernel's
config file (or there's a hardware problem), so simply add
it and make a new kernel
If it's there, then the following should mount a CD:
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /mnt
(Note the "c" character has been appended to the device name,
which is necessary to specify the "partition". There are no
partitions on a CD, so "c" is used to specify "just the whole
thing". I think you may use "a" as well.)
Regards
Oliver
