/dev/[r]cd* are SCSI CDROM devices. ;)

Try /dev/wcd0c or /dev/rwcd0c :-)

cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV wcd0

Set the environment variable CDPLAY to "/dev/rwdc0c".
It should work now. BTW, try first the normal "cdplay" or "cdplayer".
There are more chances that these are working then xmcd. xmcd always
refused to work with my Mitsumi CD-ROM. Now with a SCSI one, there are no
problems.
If you want to try with xmcd, try:

xmcd -dev /dev/rwcd0c
