Instead of always typing a long sentence, make an entry in your /etc/fstab:
/dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 4
Then to mount a CD, just type: "mount /cdrom"

In general, it is much better to compile all sensible devices drivers *not*
as modules (especially block devices as CDROM, or OS access).

Try to compile only the SCSI driver not as a module.
If it is not possible, you'll have first to load the SCSI module, before
the crdom driver (use insmod, or modprobe for the SCSI, if you're not
sure about the parms you supplied)
