If you've installed the system with a cdrom, you should already have an entry for it in /etc/fstab; and should be able to just do: mount /cdrom Otherwise, you'll have to use mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom or mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0 /cdrom depending on whether you've got an ATAPI CDROM reader or a SCSI one.
