Umm, I'm not trying to be rude, but the above might be confusing. /dev/hd*
is not a "mount point" but a device. The mount point can be any directory.
For a cdrom, it's often /mnt/cdrom/ or /cdrom/. You mount a device on a
mount point:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdh /mnt/cdrom

fs-type device mount-point
