How to make cdrom drive work???

[Alan Wilson <awilson@accessus.net>]

My son got me for Christmas a very used external NEC CDrom drive which I would
like to make work on my Sun IPX.  

The computer seems to detect it, but ?????   From the /var/log/messages:

...
scsi : 1 host
	Vendor: NEC  Model: CD-ROM DRIVE:501 ....
	Type: CD-ROM
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, ...
scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom 1 SCSI disk total.
esp0: disconnect, resetting bus
esp0: Resetting scsi bus
esp0: SCSI bus reset interrupt
esp0: SCSI bus reset interrupt
esp0: Warning, live target 1 not responding to select
esp0: Warning, live target 1 not responding to select
sr0: disc change detected
Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.54
....

when I attempt to mount the cdrom with
	mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom
I receive the message
 	mount: special device /dev/sr0 does not exist

Sure enough, there is no sr0 in /dev.

Suggestions?  

Thanks
Alan
