If HAL does mount it you could try to rename /etc/init.d/hald to /etc/init.d/hald_ and reboot since /etc/init.d/hald stop wont suffice... after you booted X11 might not work anymore because of the missing HAL so you might have to use the cmdline to mount the DVD manually...

Let us know if that worked or not...

Afterwards you rename /etc/init.d/hald_ back to /etc/init.d/hald and reboot again...

Maybe someone has a better idea how to disable hal... but this is how i would do it...
