cdfs file system not mountable?

Howdy.

I have a OSF/1 3.2 system which refuses to permit me to mount a cdfs
system. Here is the drill:

# mount -t cdfs -ro noversion /dev/rz4c
/dev/rz4c on /mnt: No such device
# mount -t cdfs -ro noversion /dev/rz4c
/dev/rz4c on /mnt: No such device
# mount -t cdfs -ro noversion /dev/rz4c /cdfs
/dev/rz4c on /cdfs: No such device
# which mount
/sbin/mount
# whereis mount
mount: /sbin/mount /usr/sbin/mount /usr/share/man/man2/mount.2 \
       /usr/share/man/man2/mount.2sv /usr/share/man/man8/mount.8
# /usr/sbin/mount -t cdfs -ro noversion /dev/rz4c /cdfs
/dev/rz4c on /cdfs: No such device
# mount -t cdfs -ro noversion /dev/rz4c /cdrom
/dev/rz4c on /cdrom: No such device

Now, YES, I know the device is /dev/rz4c, since I mount CDs there
all the time. And NO, the problem isn't OS version related, since
I tried it on 2.0 and it doesn't work there either. If I take the
CD over to our SUN system it mounts correctly.

This is kinda important, since we now have OSF Motif 2.0 and want
to give it a spin. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Any workarounds (other than a sun?)

Thanks

Ray
