<answer>
<para>Most likely your CDROM uses the <quote>Joilet</quote>
extention for storing information about files and directories.
This extension specifies that all filenames are stored using
Unicode two-byte characters. Currently, efforts are under way
to introduce a generic Unicode interface into the FreeBSD
kernel, but since that isn't ready yet, the CD9660 driver does
not have the ability to decode the characters in the
filenames.</para>
<para>As a temporary solution, starting with FreeBSD 4.3, a
special hook has been added into the CD9660 driver to allow the
user to load an appropriate conversion table on the fly.
Modules for some of the common encodings are available via the
<filename>sysutils/cd9660_unicode</filename> port.</para>
