You sure you have a CD in the drive? It's been known to happen, speaking from
experience... or, /dev/cdrom should be a symlink to your scsi cd device.
eg
beowulf[1]~> ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jul 20 2000 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
scd0 being the scsi cdrom drive with the lowest ID number.
