cd /
mkdir cdrom ; create a mountpoint if it does not yet exist
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom ; mount the cdrom
cd cdrom ; you'll find the contents here
ls -l
umount /cdrom ; unmount before you eject the cd
Better still, you can edit /etc/fstab and add an appropriate line to make
life a little easier. Just look at the lines that are already there to
get an idea of what you should add. 'man 5 fstab' is your friend btw.
In the options field add `user', so you can mount the device as mortal
user and `noauto' so linux doesn't try to mount a possibly empty cdrom
tray at boot time.
When you have done this, `mount /dcrom` will mount the cdrom.
`cat /etc/mtab` shows what is mounted now, just like `mount` btw.
