CD's aren't "partitioned" try this:
mount -t iso9660{or auto} /dev/hdb /cdrom
For your fstab entry to work you can either use
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 defaults, ro, user, noauto
or do a "ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom" as root would probably be best as
many different programs will be looking for /dev/cdrom.
