“mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt/cdrom
(or /dev/cd0a, I forget which).”
Not that it’s important, but I’ve always just done the following with ATAPI drives:
mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0c /mnt/
You can use tab completion this way ;^)
I’ve always created subdirectories off of /mnt because I ended up mounting multiple things there – optical media, loopback images, and windows shares, for instance.

Same with most folks I know (I’m too lazy/rarely mount more than one thing at a time). I was more refering to the fact that using mount_cd9660 instead of mount -t cd9660 lets you save some typing 8-)
