So perhaps add the following to man mount_cd9660:

EXAMPLES

     The following command can be used to mount a Kodak Photo-CD:

      mount_cd9660 -o rw -v -s 0 /dev/cd0c /cdrom

      The follwoing command can be used to mount a data DVD:

      mount_cd9660 -s 0 /dev/acd0 /cdrom

Sorry I'm too lazy to submit a patch to this unless it's decided that 
it needs to be fixed. :)
