It probably isn't the right place to ask.
Someone will mention the charter of
this list if we wait around a while... :-)
So, I mention this as entertainment, not
an answer to a question....

That said, I mount a cdrom in 5.2 by
typing:

    #d:

 Now, of course, "d:" won't work for you,
unless you have something like this in
your shell resource file:

alias d:        sudo mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom

Note that this utilizes the "sudo" program
(/usr/ports/security/sudo) and that it's for
an IDE CDROM drive; also, there isn't a directory
called "cdrom" on the root filesystem of a "stock"
FBSD installation.  Basically it's just my lazy
shortcut (and a tongue-in-chic laugh at DOS!)
