I used to use sbpcd. It's just telling you to recompile the kernel
(or spbcd module) so that it knows to look at 0x340, instead of
having to scan. The module should work fine up to then, but there
will be time-wasting scanning every time you load it.

I wonder if bpcd could be a "Backpack" CD. Backpack makes
parallel-port CD-ROM units.
In any case, use modprobe to find out if spbcd is loaded. If it is,
don't fool around with configuration files, just type
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
