Hmmm, that should be the right one.
The line for my CDRom in fstab is this:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
I assume that sort of matches yours. Very strange that it won't work, I
have not yet heard of a CDRom that won't work in Linux.
Unlikely idea, but still: can you mount cdrom2 to /mnt/cdrom ?
umount /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom
Just to see if there is nothing wrong with /mnt/cdrom. If that works, try
umount /mnt/cdrom2
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom2
Curious what that would give you. Stranger things have happened...
