Ok so far.

The first argument isn't where to find the input files, but where
within the repository to put the results. It must be a relative
pathname, and is interpreted relative to CVSROOT. The source for
"cvs import" is always the current directory.
So what you wanted was something like:
cd /mnt/cdrom/Foo
cvs import -m "Imported sources" Foo MyCompany start
That argument can have more than one level. You could say:
cvs import -m "Imported sources" MyProject/something/Foo MyCompany start
if you wanted the stuff to end up deeper inside the repo. (CVS
will create the intermediate directories if necessary.)
