How to mount a 3rd party CD-ROM on the external SCSI Port?

Dear experts,

Because of Y2K problems I desperately need to upgrade my DEC 3000-600 from
DU 3.0 to Tru64 4.0F, but my internal RRD42 CD-ROM drive appears to have died :(
(on any "mount" command it gives "/dev/rz4c on /cdrom: I/O error").

What I would therefore like to do is mount a borrowed Toshiba TXM 3301 CD-ROM on
the external SCSI port, and use it to install Tru64 4.0F. Could someone be
gracious enough to help me with the steps needed to successfully mount a CD on
the Toshiba?
