Well the commands to mount and unmount a cdrom are the
following:
mount /mnt/cdrom
umount /mnt/cdrom
If you have more than one CDROM you will have to add a
number to the end of it starting with 1. As in:
mount /mnt/cdrom1
umount /mnt/cdrom1
If you have a structure different than the default,
you will have to configure these commands accordingly.
