I have added a SCSI CD-R to my system, but I cannot mount it because the
device, /dev/scd0, has no module (?) and cannot be mounted. I am not
sure what else to do, since the OS is installed on a HD on the same SCSI
card--so I know it works. I do not know what else to try.

You need the SCSI CDROM support in the kernel to use /dev/scdx devices.

Whereas, you can use sg0 instead od scd0 (or was it sr0?)

Check SCSI-howto's, it's the best..

You likely need to load the 'sr_mod' module to access it as a cdrom (see
dmesg or /var/log/messages). Note that /dev/sr0 is hard linked to
/dev/scd0 so either device could be mounted as a cdrom. However ripping
music or cd burning needs the 'sg' module and device (/dev/sg0).
