cdroms are not easy to mount in the current release. Essentially,
they require the user to somehow deduce the somewhat esoteric
command line:
mount -F hsfs -r /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /mnt
which is inappropraite for most users, I think.
Instead, the appropriate symklinks should be available in
/dev so that /dev/cdrom points to the above (in general, there
seems to be some sort of release bug wrt creation of devices
in /dev. It didn't happen for audio and audioctl, either...).
Also, /etc/vfstab should be modified so that it contains something like:
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 - /cdrom hsfs - no -r
or perhaps
/dev/cdrom - /cdrom hsfs - no -r
So that the user may just type
mount /cdrom
to achieve utter bliss :-)
