	I have my CDROM listed as acd0(you may have mistyped it in your
email a few times, adc0?).  It corresponds to /dev/wcd0c.  In /etc/fstab
you'll find that it is symlinked to /cdrom.  To mount it you do mount
/cdrom.
	When it says hit a key or boot, hit a key.  Then do boot -c and
see if you can disable your CDROM and then boot.
