Problem mounting DVD on Solaris 10 (x86)

I have just installed Solaris 10. I have read various threads on how to mount CDs put can't get mine going. My Sony DVD RW-U14A is attached to IDE2 as the master.

If I type
iostat -En
I get
c1t0d0 soft errors 0 hard errors 0 transport errors 0
Vendor Sony Product DVD RW-U14A
Size 0Gb etc.

I then try to mount
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 no such device

I then did an ls in /dev/dsk and found that the
driver was there.

I also tried the same command with c1t0d0p0 and that
also didn't work with the same error message.

The CD in the drive contained a tar file which I had put
onto the CD from Windows.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Chris.
