#v+
# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
# cat /etc/filesystems 
ext3
ext2
vfat
minix
iso9660
hfsplus

But
#v+
# mount -t hfsplus -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom/
# ls /mnt/cdrom/
