How do I access the disc in my cd-rom drive?

The disc has a filesystem on it, which is called a 'cdfs' filesystem in Uw7/OSR6, and it needs to be mounted to be accessed:

      mount -r -F cdfs /dev/cdrom/cdrom1 /mnt

   where;
      mount     <--  The command needs to be run by by a privileged user.
      -r        <--  Specifies read only.
      -F cdfs   <--  Describes the filesystem type as 'cdfs'
      /dev/...  <--  Specifies the first cdrom drive (a block device).
      /mnt      <--  The directory to which the disc is mounted. 
                     It must exist before running the 'mount' command.
