Hi Greg,

Try 

  mount -t cd9660 -r /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

cd9660 because a cd actually does not contain an msdos file system, but
a ISO9660 ditto. It works with wcd0a too, but I'm not sure it's quite as
correct ;-)
Also consult 'man mount_cd9660', but it's unfortunately pretty short...
:(

Regards,
Palle
