From memory mount /cdrom should work just find but what is in your fstab ?
do you have a line that refers to your cd rom drive? If not try
something like mount /dev/acd0 /mnt  as root. Unless you have previously
changed the permissions trying to mount anything as a user other than
root will not work spectacularly well.
