/dev/cdrom doesn't exist by default, it's usually a symlink to another
physical device. Typically /dev/hdc if you've got an IDE drive, or
/dev/sdc for a SCSI drive (though I think this varies).
Try running 'dmesg' shortly after boot. If you've got an IDE drive,
you'll see something like:
hdc: FX120T, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 12X CD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache
...among the output.
To mount this:
$ mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
Otherwise, research your SCSI CD and how to properly mount it.
