I have a directory called /cdrom and all I do is "mount /cdrom". You can't mount audio cds. You simply play them. Some of the ports tell you to link /dev/acd0c to /dev/cdrom and chmod it to something like 744. I use xmcd or kscd to play my audiio cds but usually configure them to use acd0c.

I added "options pcm" to my kernel config file, which requires building a kernel, but why do it if the loader.conf addition works :).

Yes. Either that (read the handbook) or man 5 loader.conf --- or both.
