Weird.  We have LinuxPPC 2000 CD-ROMs (burned from their
downloadable disk images), and the bootable disk mounts fine under
both Linux and MacOS (I used it to ensure that I could safely
recover after upgrading my C libraries -- happily, there was no
need).

I'm using automount, parameters are 

   cdrom           -fstype=auto,ro         :/dev/cdrom

   C.
