Always post exact error message. See also http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked.

Run make menuconfig in /usr/src/linux, then go to File systems -> CD-ROM/DVD Filesystems, enable ISO 9660 and an option for Joliet should appear (of course enable it). Then you have to recompile your kernel (try to find appropriate doc for that, if you really have trouble finding it, just ask).

I posted you all I could without further details. If you followed the link above you would know everything about unmasking you would ever need to know. So just read it. It doesn't mean you can't ask, but if you do so, post more details.
