    Well the error message says that /dev/cdrom is already mounted, which
    means what it says :)

    To unmount it, try first as root

            umount /dev/cdrom

    When issuing the command, take care that you're none of your shells is
    in /mnt/cdrom, and that nautilus or konq or whatever does not have
    anything under /mnt/cdrom open, or you will get a device busy error.

    After you unmount /dev/cdrom you can try the line you originally tried.

    Tip: you can always check what's mounted and where by running

            mount

    without parameters.

    Greets,
