You first need to fix your problems with the SCSI controller. Then,
just make sure that have the device file (probably cd0) created in 
the /dev directory. You should be able to do something like this as
root:

  cd /dev
  ./MAKEDEV cd0

The next step would be to create an entry in your /etc/fstab file.
On my system, it looks like this:

  callisto:bstark$ cat /etc/fstab | grep cd
  /dev/cd0a       /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto 0 0
  callisto:bstark$ 

Then, create a /cdrom directory and run mount like this:

  callisto:{root}$ mount -v -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom


If you are wondering what the messages at start up will look like once
your controller problem is fixed, here is what I see:

  callisto:bstark$ dmesg | grep cd
  cd0 at scsibus0 targ 2 lun 0: <PLEXTOR, CD-ROM PX-6XCS, 1.08> SCSI2 5/cdrom removable
  callisto:bstark$
