I would suggest you try 
	"mount /dev/cdrom" or
	"mount /dev/hdc" or
	"mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660"

You might also have a look at your /etc/fstab file - it should have rows
like:
/dev/cdrom     /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 exec,dev,nosuid,ro,noauto,users 0 0
/dev/hdd       /mnt/cdrom      iso9660 exec,dev,nosuid,ro,noauto,users 0 0

anyway, /dev/cdrom is just a symlink for /dev/hdd in my system ... and
/dev/hdd (yes, you guessed it!) is where my cd drive is.

Sorry if this has been answered already, i'm new to the list ... :-/

marie, just trying to help
