Go to /etc, edit the file fstab, and add the option `noauto' to the line
that describes your cdrom, somewhat like

/dev/hdd    /cdrom    iso9660    defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

This will avoid attempts to mount the CD at boot time.  This option is
also useful for floppy devices or any other removable media.
