Well ... from what you report, the message is correct. You don't have
/dev/hdb in fstab; you have /dev/cdrom, which is (I imagine) a symlink to
/dev/hdb ... but that doesn't make it equivalent to /dev/hdb for all purposes.
I'd guess that you are, either as root or as part of the boot process,
mounting your cd as /dev/hdb, then later, as a user, trying to umount it ...
which you don't have permission to do, since the device name you used to
mount it isn't in fstab.
Solutions:
1. Change the line in fstab to read "hdb" instead of "cdrom" in the first field.
2. Chance whatever mounts the cd to use /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/hdb .
