mtab is the list of the files currently mounted. That's why you don't see
/dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom2 in the list. If you mount them manually with the
command mount /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrom2 them you'll see them in mtab. You
could remove the noauto from the lines in fstab and then they should mount at
boot if they have media in them. If you have kde you could right click on
the desktop and select create new cdrom device and edit the name, mount point
and device. Then clicking on that icon mounts ands opens the file manager or
right clicking on it gives you an extended menu of mount, unmount, or eject.
