Possably because /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdc, so /dev/hdc is the
physical device, /dev/cdrom is linked to it.
So an entry in fstab would look like;
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
user = allow users to mount the cdrom
noauto = do not mount at boottime
ro = read only
0 0 = no fsck check.
On Redhat systems the need to have the cdrom mounted in /mnt/cdron arrises
becuase thats where the X based package installer looks for the CD.
