It will not mount automatically. You are using the command
correctly. The error message you are getting is most often associated
with two problems, (1) the CDROM has not had the chance to spin-up
yet, or (2) the CDROM in the drive does not have a valid filesystem on
it.

To solve (1), wait until your activity light on the CDROM comes on and
then turns back off when the disk is loaded before running the
command.

For (2), this _is_ a CD with an ISO9660 filesystem on it, right? Not
an audio CD? Try another CD with a filesystem.
