#R is a non-SCSI CDROM, such as found lurking on the edge of 
old soundblasters. SCSI is #w. Try

9660srv # load 9660 server
mkdir /n/cdrom # somewhere to mount (oo-err)
mount -c /srv/9660 /n/cdrom '#'w3/sd3disk

Are you sure it's a Buslogic? That looks like an Adaptec (aha1542). 
If so, the dma = -1 looks suspect. It ought to be a small positive 
number.
