I'm not sure about a "Picture CD", but I just double checked and I
can't mount a Kodak Photo CD on 5.3.  It's not '-t cd9660' and it's
not '-t msdos'.  Googling around a bit shows that it's a multisession
cd, and I get the following devices when I stick on in the drive

If I cat /dev/acd0t02 into a file, it turns out to be a 

   (satchel)[1:36pm]~>>sudo cat /dev/acd0t02 > /tmp/ape
   (satchel)[1:37pm]~>>file /tmp/ape
   /tmp/ape: Kodak Photo CD image pack file , landscape mode

And display (from the imagemagick suite) is able to show me one of
(the first, in fact) image from the CD.  It doesn't seem like it's one
track per image though, since there are 51 images on the disk.

Has anyone worked with PhotoCD's on FreeBSD?
