Don't know, but a good chance if it's standard ATAPI fare.
$ mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/hd? /cdrom


I don't think it's even "installed" as such. If I tried the above
command for example, I keep getting:
kevin-dsl-212:/cdrom# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/hdb1 /cdrom
mount: /dev/hdb1 is not a valid block device
