I tried the easier way first with the 4.4.0-trunk kernel, it does not
complain on bootup:

[   90.331435] sr 0:0:4:0: [sr0] scsi-1 drive
[   90.383487] cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
[   90.450622] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA

And it can mount the CD, with a small hiccup:

Jan 24 19:51:45 ristkon kernel: [  221.264074] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
Jan 24 19:51:45 ristkon systemd-udevd[443]: Process 'cdrom_id --lock-media /dev/sr0' terminated by signal BUS.
Jan 24 19:51:46 ristkon systemd[1]: Unmounting /mnt...
Jan 24 19:51:46 ristkon systemd[1]: Unmounted /mnt.
Jan 24 19:52:46 ristkon kernel: [  281.642516] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A

Actually, it mounts the CD after the second try (19:52:46),
HTH,
Uli
