/dev/cdrom is merely a link to the appropriate device.
What does your /etc/fstab say?
What does
ls -l /dev/cdrom
report?
Are these devices correct?

Subject: [newbie] VMWARE with Mandrake 7 problem... =(
Hi! I am using Mandrake 7.01 with VMware 2.0.1, with a guest OS of Win98.
Anyway, I tried to install the OS but I cant access my cd-rom???? What
gives? This is the error message I get. I installed a fresh Mandrake 7 and
I still got the same problem. Anyone ever get this problem with VMware?
CDROM: '/dev/cdrom' exists, but does not appear to be a
CDROM device. Error connecting the CDROM device.
What does this mean? Please help? I hope I didnt waste my $99 dollars,
just because I cant access my cdrom drive. =(
I also changed the configuration to /mnt/cdrom just in case but I still
get the same problem. =( Please help!
Thanks!
