    Is the CDROM a CD-RW, a completed CD-R, or a purchased data CDROM ?
    If it is a CD-RW that has been used and not closed as CD-R then it is a
    UDF filesystem and mounting it as iso9660 will not work.

    My fstab has options for iso9660 or UDF for each CDROM drive I have.
    When I insert a CD it automounts the disk in either drive.

    You should be able to mount a cdrom by using "mount /mnt/cdrom" without
    the options or device as long as the line is in fstab.
