A little more info would be helpful. Where are you in the install
process? Is the livecd still mounted? Are you in the chroot shell?

If this is a finished install, do you have an entry in fstab to support
the mount /mnt/cdrom? What error are you getting when you try to mount
the cd?

Try this:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom (should be there, but best to be sure)
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

This should mount the cdrom for you. Any error messages should give you
an idea of where the problem is.
