You don't mention your hardware platform.

Did you "man mount" and then search for "cdrom" in the man page?
I just did (on a pentium box -- a Shuttle SS51G FWIW) and this is what I
find:
mount -t cd9660 -r /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom
(Obviously for a hsfs filesystem, not a unix file system.)
and -- for an addition to /etc/fstab, this should suffice:
/dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,nodev,nosuid 0 0
and, at least on my system, "/mnt/cdrom" already exists as a mount point.
The same syntax works on OpenBSD 3.4 on a Sun SS-5, so it will probably
work on most hardware platforms.

In my Intel based 3.5 system, here it is in the dmesg:
======================================================================
cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, CD-ROM XM-5502TA, 0206> SCSI0 5/cdrom re movable
cd0(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 2
======================================================================
and here in an Ultra-1/140:
======================================================================
cd0 at scsibus0 targ 6 lun 0: <CyberDrv, SCSI CD-ROM 120S, 1.30> SCSI2 5/cdrom removable
======================================================================
>Any ideas?
I think that what I have above should suffice, unless your
system did not recognize the drive when it installed.
Good Luck,
DoN.
