Umm, this points to a bug in /etc/fstab.  In the line, there should be
something that looks like this (device may vary).
/dev/cd0a                       /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto

Note the 'noauto'.  Someone has modified your system to use the 'auto'
line, which is a typo.  Change 'auto' -> 'noauto' and life will be well;
