To start with: http://www.lemis.com/questions.html The approach to your problem depends completely on what kind of CDROM drive you have. The device names you're trying are for SCSI CDROM drives; if you have some other sort of drive (ATAPI are most common), then the device names are definitely wrong. Look at the dmesg(8) output to see what the kernel recognized. A typical cheap PC probably has a single ATAPI CDROM drive. In that case, the kernel will probably recognize it as acd0, and therefore you would mount an ISO 9660 disk as acd0c. Good luck.
