To remember:
ATAPI is a IDE. So there are only 4 IDE periph. available
on the motherboard.
Second: look at /etc/fstab for the right config.
Something as: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto
user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0
You can replace auto by iso9660
To mount it, the right syntax is: (as root)
mount /dev/cdrom -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom.
The dir /mnt/cdrom exists ??
Kernel configured about it ??
