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.
