Look for acd0 (ATAPI CD-ROM drive) in your boot messages. Type this command: dmesg | grep acd If it's not there, it's probably missing in your kernel's config file (or there's a hardware problem), so simply add it and make a new kernel If it's there, then the following should mount a CD: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /mnt (Note the "c" character has been appended to the device name, which is necessary to specify the "partition". There are no partitions on a CD, so "c" is used to specify "just the whole thing". I think you may use "a" as well.)
