OK, that looks almost right.  /dev/cdrom needs to be a symlink to the
correct drive, or better yet, replace /dev/cdrom with the *real*
device.

No, but it does mean that a user can go mount it themselves with
"mount /cdrom".  To see what's mounted, df will show you including how
much space is used on each device mounted, and mount by itself will
tell you plus each device's status and options.
