This is the entry in my fstab -

/dev/acd0c              /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0   0

So I just enter
mount /cdrom 
and it mounts. Otherwise you could try -
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom

Of course you'll need to change the letter from c to whatever your cd
rom drive is designated, and change the /cdrom to whatever mount point
you will use.
