    I'm still having a hard time mounting my ATAPI CD ROM

    I created a directory cdfrank
    I changed to cdfrank
    I ran the mount command as such

    mount -t /dev/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide,exec 00

    I got instead the mount help file. It didn't work.

    I also tried

    mount -t /dev/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide,exec 00 /cdfrank

    What gives?
