When I do

there was a CD in the drive, and /cdrom exists.
Do you mean
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
Maybe. Is that different?
Yeah, there is a space between -t and iso9660 :-)
What kind of DVD writer do you have maybe it is sata or scsi, and it
wiil appear under /dev/srX or /dev/sgX. Or if you use the new libata
library in the kernel even IDE devices are under /dev/srX or /dev/sgX.
No, the box is no longer young, and contains no SATA or SCSI bits at all.
I'm just going away to see if I've got any /dev/s[gr]X on the box. ....
No, I've got no /dev/s[gr]X at all.
Could it be that the kernel has looked at hd[ab], found nothing there,
and therefore decided "it's not worth the bother even looking at
hd[cd]"?
Hmm, maybe the output of `dmesg`, `lspci -v` and `ls -al /dev` could be
helpful. Probably also your kernel configuration.
