You will need to mount the CD to make it visible to UNIX. Check out "man mount".
You'll probably need something like "mount -ro /dev/cd0 /cdrom" where cd0 (or something similar) is the name of you cdrom drive and /cdrom (or something similar or, perhaps, /mnt) is a free mount point (looks like an empty directory). Then cd to the mount point (or ls it) and you should be able to see your files. When you've done, cd off the mount point and do "umount /cdrom" (or whatever the mount point is called)
cheers

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
