Not completely solved but there has been progress.
First, thanks to:

These responses are appreciated, but the suggestions had already been tried
(making sure cdfs was indeed installed, using -o rrip), or rejected (mounting
the disk on the PC and using NFS, reading the disk in raw mode).
The winner, again, is "Dr. Tom Blinn, 603-884-0646" <tpb_at_zk3.dec.com>
who, after getting more details, gave me some new parameters to put in ddr.dbase
for my RRD46 CD-ROM drive (which had no entry at all in the original ddr.dbase!)
The important point is that the CD-ROM was using a special format called CD-XA
and DEC does not have complete support for that in Dunix 4.0b! He still thought
it would work, so I tried the new configuration.
(Good news) The mount succeeded!
(Bad news) The mount point was no longer available - witness:
# mount -t cdfs -r /dev/rz4c /cdrom
# ls /cdrom
/cdrom not found
Dr. Blinn has promised me that they are still working on it.
Possibly because I have in the meantime had no trouble mounting this on a
SparcStation!
Thanks again for listening. What a great list!
