I've tried in the shell mount /dev/hdb and mount /dev/cdrom, but i got a message saying that that file was not in the file fstab or mtab... and, in fact, it isn't. The starnge part is tha if i run dselect with the cd rom with the debian distribution the program accesses the cd and install all the packages from it? So, what do i do?

You could try:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom
You could also add the following line to your /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,noauto,user 0 0
That way, simply typing 'mount /cdrom' would work.
(The above examples assume /dev/hdb *is* your cdrom. If it ain't, edit
appropriately)
