When my initial install was done, the fstab had that exact line, but my cdrom did not work. Only when I remove the ,noauto will it work. It functions this way with both acd0a and acd0c. I made a copy of my original fstab file to check back with it in case I messed it up, and I just verified that my original file had that, and tried putting it back into my new fstab and the cdrom still won't work with ,noauto.
