Assuming your cdrom device is IDE and not SCSI, hopefully you know where
on the bus it is.
As root do:
dmesg | grep hd
On my machine I get:
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda5
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hda: Maxtor 6Y080P0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: ATAPI 50X CDROM, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: LITE-ON LTR-32123S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: 160086528 sectors (81964 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=9964/255/63
Note that I have a cdrom drive at /dev/hdc and a CR-RW at /dev/hdd
Let's say, for instance your CD-ROM is at /dev/hdc or master on the
secondary channel. Put a data cd in the drive and, as root do:
# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
No output means that the drive is mounted if you get errors, probably
not depending on the disk you may need to specify a file system. At any
rate, post your /etc/fsab and we can probably fix you up
