To start with:
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html

The approach to your problem depends completely on what kind of CDROM
drive you have.  The device names you're trying are for SCSI CDROM
drives; if you have some other sort of drive (ATAPI are most common),
then the device names are definitely wrong.  Look at the dmesg(8)
output to see what the kernel recognized.  

A typical cheap PC probably has a single ATAPI CDROM drive.  In that
case, the kernel will probably recognize it as acd0, and therefore you
would mount an ISO 9660 disk as acd0c.

Good luck.
