Ok, now I'm curious.  I shut down vold.  Check this out:

# mount -F ufs -r /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
# cd /cdrom
# ls -la
total 10
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Jun  6 19:39 .
drwxr-xr-x  36 root     root        1024 Sep 19 18:30 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other          2 Jun  6 19:39 .SUNW-boot-redirect

The problem appears to be that there's multiple fs's on the cd, and the
operator (me) hasn't run into the HOLD THE PHONE!  Got it!
mount -F hsfs -r /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom works!

Don't try to mount s2.  That's only there for the boot process.
mount -F ufs -r /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s3 /whatever works too, and I bet
the rest of the rest of the slices would as well.  This bird is
definitely not your normal single-fs cd.
