This is the way it is supposed to work. The device in dmesg will be acd0, while it will be referred to when mounting (as in your fstab) as /dev/acd0c. In a similar fashion, you will notice that your disk drives are detected (if IDE) as ad0, ad1 etc in dmesg, although in /etc/fstab they are listed by partition as /dev/ad0s1a etc when they are being mounted. The additional letter refers to the partition. For the cdrom, the letter c refers to "the whole disk". Your initial confusion seems to be due to the fact that you were trying to mount a music cd. This is not what you do, you "play" music cd's. You can use a variety of things to do this, from the basic, cdcontrol (see the man page), to the graphical interface variety, e.g. xcdplayer in the ports. If you want to extract the music off the CD as a .wav file, you don't mount the cd, you use a ripping tool, like cdda2wav (from the cdrtools port). Hope that makes more sense.
