Yes, I think Gary should at least have said *why* it works for him.
His /etc/fstab file contains something like

/dev/cd0a			/cdrom		cd9660	ro,noauto 0 0

When you invoke mount with only argument, it looks in /etc/fstab for
*either* the first *or* the second field in each line, and if it finds
a match it fills in the other information by itself.  Have a look: I'm
sure that you have something there, but it might be the mount point
/cd0 instead of /cdrom.
