Where do you see that?

Where have you search to find it?

Check the file /etc/fstab to see what devices are mounted at boot time.

If you're cdrom is effectivly mounted on /dev/wcd0c then try:

mount -vrt cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

If you want to play it safe, try this, it will do anything but the system
call, just to see what's going on...

mount -dvrt cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom

These will mount your cdrom on /cdrom.

I'm not an expert, so maybe you should wait a better advice.
