I believe it needs to look like this:


/dev/hdc    /cdrom  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide

ro:     mounts it read-only
user:   lets any user mount the cd
noauto: the file-system on the CD isn't automatically mounted at boot-time
        (obviously crucial since you won't normally a cd in the drive
        when you boot)
unhide: show hidden and associated files

This is all in the man-page for mount,
