let's start simple. cd /proc/ide. There should be hda, and others. if you cd
into each of these hd? directories you will find a file called 'media' the one
which is your cdrom will say 'cdrom' the others 'disk'.
Once you know which device is your cdrom, use:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom # change hdd to match what you learned
Once you have that working, make sure /dev/cdrom links to that device.
