In /etc/fstab you should have a line like:
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0
that will allow a user to mount the cdrom with the command
mount /cdrom
But if you need to do something as root, like install from
a cdrom, that is run an executable which is on the cdrom,
then you must use the conventional mount command:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom

Yeah, don't let your boyfriend do to your files, what he likes to do
to you. :-)
