Wow. You sure tried a lot of stuff. I bet that the errer message that you got gave you a clue about what was wrong. It would probabsy help us to answer you. But I am pretty sure I can help anyway. The proper device name for your atapi cdrom is most likely /dev/wcd0c. mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom Also, the mount /cdrom incantation will work if /cdrom is in /etc/fstab.
