Thanks. I got static mounting to work on my cdrom device by following the instructions in the link above (kern.usermount=1) and setting the mount directory read/write for the user.
Regarding mass storage media, unfortunately ext4 seems to be unsupported in OpenBSD and other BSDs. It does not even mount as ext2 readonly which I wrongly assumed would be possible. That is a deal breaker, since all my data is on an ext4 partition in my external hard disk, I am unable to use OpenBSD for my purpose (for my office work). For some reason I was also unable to mount the internal hard disk NTFS partition of Windows XP residing on Primary Master (not sure why, it keeps saying device not configured).
Regretfully I have had to revert to Debian. I really got so far in OpenBSD and unfortunate that I have to fall back to Linux now. Maybe once I reformat my external hard drive, I will use ext2fs or ext3fs on it and can use OpenBSD.
