To be a bit more complete:
1) Make certain you have a directory /cdrom, and that there is nothing
in it - not even any hidden files.
2) Make sure you are cd-ed to some other directory.
3) Execute "mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom"
If your /etc/fstab contains a line as follows:
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
you can replace the mount command above with
"mount /cdrom"
If this doesn't work, it could be a bad CD. I have a CD-RW
that reads just fine on one FreeBSD machine, but which causes a
Pentium 120 running FreeBSD 4.1 to crash. A complete crash,
with need for an fsck on its filesystems, and reproducible.
