I'm certainly no expert, but when I first learned how to mount my CD-ROM,
I found www.control-escape.com/lx-mounting.html extraordinarily helpful.
First they explain carefully and in plain English what mounting is all
about.  Then they have a nice explanation of how your /etc/fstab needs to
be set up, complete with an example.  Though I'm in no position to help
you myself, maybe this site can shed some light on your troubles.

Good Luck!

Ingrid
