Ditto. Yes, you also need to stop it unmounting and so on. Thus

apt-cdrom -d /mnt --no-auto-detect -m add

will do it, where "it" is to stick

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 NETINST Binary-1 <datetime>]/ jessie main

in /etc/apt/sources.list and check the contents.

Cheers,
