My gut feeling is that the error is here. It is very unlikely that your CD-ROM would be on /dev/hdb (Primary slave). On most boxes it would be hdc or hdd. Normally CD-ROMs are picked up by the kernel at boot time ... Do a 'dmesg | less' and examine where the kernel sees it. You would see a line something like: hdd: SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-152C, ATAPI CDROM drive Note down the device and use that in your /etc/fstab.
