It's always a nice idea to start in such a manner, although in practice you 
often just end up lurking for ages in this instance! (kind of like what I 
did..).

You either need to give your cdrom drive and entry in /etc/fstab or specify 
both device and mount point at the command line. Try:

	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

or

	mount /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom


Your /etc/fstab entry should look something like this:

	/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   noauto,owner,ro   0 0
