You might try the location as hdb or /dev/hdb.
You also might try alt+F2 in order to get the 2nd vc and there try to look for
the CD in the output of mount. On this vc you can also try mounting the CD
yourself so that you will be able to guess what to answer for the location
question from the 1st vc.
If you still need help then posting the output of what you get on the 2nd vc
can help.

Hillel used to say: If I am not for myself who will be for me?
Yet, if I am for myself only, what am I? And if not now, when?
(Ethics Of The Fathers 1:14)
