You need to load the filesystem driver for the cdrom. I think it is
called iso9660.o or isofs.o. Try
modprobe isofs
of
modprobe iso9660
If it can't be found, check your Kernel configuration file (you can find
it in /boot). It should say:
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y (driver compiled into the kernel, you don't have to
load it) or
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m (driver compiled as a module, must be loaded).

Use pppconfig to configure your internet connection. When you are
finished, you have to use
pon name_of_peer
to start the connection.
