Hi,

You must specify the filesystem type, or it will use the default, which is not cdfs !

Try this...
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /mnt/cdrom

i found that mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt/cdrom worked for me, but i think you need to do a mkdir for the cdrom part of it. but thats on openbsd, so that could be a difference.

you will only need to create the directory you are mounting the cdrom to if that directory dosnt already exist.
so yes,
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom

wont work if /mnt/cdrom dosnt exist.
