Instead of:

$ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdb1 /cdrom

use:

$ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdb /cdrom

because there is no partition table on CD.

NEC CD Changer is for Linux like normal CD - only one slot at time is
seen. When you want to change visible slot use setcd program (it should
be in Debian distribution) or compile program from kernel sources (look at
file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/ide-cd).
