you have to specify a mount point where the cd drive is attached to.
Create a directory
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount the cd
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if you add a line to the
/etc/fstab
file, then the mount command will atomatically know where to mount
/dev/cdrom to
note that /mnt/cdrom and /dev/cdrom are different things. /dev/cdrom is a
hardware device. /mnt/cdrom is that hardware device interpreted as a
filesystem.
BTW: using the /mnt directory is just a convention, but it's a good one. If
you want to use a diffrent directory, then the convention is to create a
sybolic link.
For instnce, I mount my windows partition as
/mnt/win98
and have a symbolic link
ln -s /mnt/win98 /win98
My "user" userid is "p" (ie, when I am not logged on as root). If I wanted,
I could point to "My Documents" from the home directory of p like this
ln -s /mnt/win98/My\ Documents /home/p/windocs
