[ale] scsi cdrom

[g.black12 at genie.com]

I'm trying to get my combination Future Domain 8-bit scsi adapter / Chinon
CDROM drive to mount under Slackware 3.0, kernel version 1.2.13.  Everything
works fine on the DOS side, and it appears that Linux is detecting the drive
at bootup, but when I try mounting with:

mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /cdrom
 or
 mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/scd0 /cdrom

I keep getting "is not a block device" messages.  I both deleted and
recreated cdrom and scd0 and recompiled the kernel to make sure I had Future
Domain, scsi and iso9660 support and I still get the messages. Anyone have a
clue as to what I am doing wrong?

 TMC-8XX/TMC-950 options: ARBITRATE SLOW_HANDSHAKE FAST32
 scsi0 : TMC-8XX/TMC-950 at irq 5, address 0x0CA00
 scsi : 1 host.
 scsi : detected total.

mount: /dev/cdrom is not a block device
 mount: /dev/scd0 is not a block device
