errr yeah so how are you running at all if there is no mount command on
the system?


lets go back to square one:

dmesg|grep hd

or

dmesg|grep -i cd

should give you the device file for the cd drive

once you have that (assume it was /dev/hdc):

mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

if you get a message about /mnt/cdrom not existing then make the
directory:

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

Next question.
