On my system, the CD ROM is detected on boot up. I use the
following command to mount an ide CD ROM. It is not necessary to
specify a partition.
To mention the obvious, you do have to have a CD in the drive to
mount the drive. I am concerned that your CD ROM isn't detected on
boot. Do you have support in the kernel for CD ROM drives and
iso9660 file systems? Possibly you need to insmod your modules for
these.
My command looks like this:
elentari:/# mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hda /cdrom
hda: media changed
ISO9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
elentari:/# ls /cdrom
README.1ST README.non-US dists
README.CD-manufacture README.pgp doc
README.mirrors.html Release-Notes extras
README.mirrors.txt boot md5sum.txt
README.multicd debian
elentari:/#
Maybe someone else can offer more help.
