I don't have any experience with IDE CDROMs, but I think that cardmgr
will run the /etc/pcmcia/ide script.  This means that you should modify
the /etc/pcmcia/ide.opts to mount the device.  The following should do
the trick:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ATA/IDE drive adapter configuration
#
# The address format is "scheme,socket,serial_no[,part]".
#
# For multi-partition devices, first return list of partitions in
# $PARTS.  Then, we'll get called for each partition.
#
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,1)
    DO_FSTAB="y" ; DO_FSCK="n" ; DO_MOUNT="y"
    FSTYPE="iso9660"
    #OPTS=""
    MOUNTPT="/cdrom"
    ;;
*,*,*)
    PARTS="1"
    ;;
esac
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will automatically mount the cdrom device on /cdrom.

Let me know whether this works.
