How???

It's the second device on the IDE (the first is the HD). I installed it Ok from CD but after running it, the CDROM shows ( like /cdrom ) but there is no0thing under it. I want to install some applications that came with FreeBSD Disk 1 and 2, but I don't know what I'm missing. I guess I need to mount it, but how??? How do I install the applications afterwards? Please post the instructions, so I can make it work... Thank you carlos
