PMFJI, I missed the older posts, but...
You have roo instead of ro, but that line is not needed - see below.

I think (guesswork) you need to change the link using ln in your /dev
directory. Probably /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd, or something
like that, and it needs to point to your scsi emulated cd-rw. What I did
was delete the link /dev/cdrom:

rm /dev/cdrom

and then run:

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

That creates a soft link called /dev/cdrom which points to /dev/scd0 which
is my scsi emulated cd-rw. Then in /etc/fstab put back the /dev/cdrom line
which now will point to the link to the scsi cd-rw. You do need to use the
appropriate scd0 or scd1 or ... ?

> Not like this </dev/cdrom /mnt/sr0

Comment this line out and uncomment the /mnt/cdrom line above it.
Make sure there is a directory /mnt/cdrom.

Sorry if I'm off base.
