Wave the magic wand.
Or edit /etc/fstab (as root) and enter the following.
/dev/hda1 /dos1 msdos defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /dos2 msdos defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 noauto, user 0 0
Note on msdos;
there are 3 types, depending on
msdos-x.x = msdos
win95 = fat
win98 =vfat
You cdrom i presume is a normal IDE cdrom in the example above it is
/dev/hdb which is the slave on the primary controler.
ls -al /dev/cdrom to see which device it realy is.
man mount for more details
