# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

instead of some logical partition inside?)

I have a similar problem.
My computer would boot from the burnt CD, but not be able to mount it.
I sent the following to the list, but there was no response:

I don't recommend doing it the way I did, but a description of it might
be informative, or at least interesting.
I have been running Storm Linux for several months, and was trying to
install a bunch of software with dselect via ftp. I thought the deb
files were being downloaded into my larger partition, but they turned
out to be going into the root partition. As a result, when unpacking the
debs, it overfilled the root partition and I could do nothing. Any
command I tried gave me "segmentation fault".
I thought that the simplest remedy would be to re-install (it takes
about an hour). Unfortunately, my CD had been damaged.
I decided this would be a good opportunity to upgrade to the latest
release and went to a Win98 machine to download it. After writing the CD
(and getting to that point is another story), I went back to a real
computer and got to work.
The new install system was looking good until I got to the point of
selecting the install source. I selected CD, and it asked me to insert
the Storm CD. I clicked OK, but it kept asking me for the CD. I tried
removing it and putting it back, but nothing worked.
Eventually, I selected install via ftp. Since I have @home, I thought
this would be relatively painless. I went ahead and selected the
packages I wanted. It told me I needed 770MB. I was installing on a 1GB
partitiion, so I went ahead. After about 3 hours: Fatal error, disk
full. :(
I started again and selected the bare minimum. I got it up and running
then installed X via apt-get. Great, except that the mouse was not
recognized. I could not get it going, although it worked fine on the
console. I tried killing gpm before going into X, but it made no
difference.
Frustrated, I went back and installed a minimum, but with X window this
time.
Success.
I have since added most of the other packages I want by various methods
(dselect, apt-get, Lynx and Netscape).
If I had realized that ftp installation was now supported, I'd have
planned it that way from the start.
I would like to see the installation get the basics and the boot manager
written to disk before adding optional packages. That way recovery from
a bad or hung install would be much easier; a program to continue
installing, by whatever method, could be installed on the HD.
