ARGH! I hate posting twice because of my goof. Please accept my apologises on this matter. When you mount the CD as root, mount the directory specified in the /etc/fstab directory. i.e. mount /cdrom or if you wish to mount it to a different directory type 'mount /dev/acd0c /cdrom' - assuming your cd device is /dev/acd0c and /cdrom exists.
