I take it that you've tried to "insmod iso9660" and then try to mount the
cdrom as you have there just above?  When I re-installed Debian with my
cdrom I had to do this and it worked.

Looks very similar to one of the problems I had.  The CDROM driver is a
module, which was not being installed because "install" failed to run
"depmod -a".   Do "depmod -a", and reboot.

"insmod driver" is pretty useless advice, isn't it?  "insmod" is the
command to insert a module.  They are trying to say "insmod ", 
where  stands for the module containing the driver for your 
CDROM drive.
