Code:
mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist.


just means that the appropriate directory hasn't been created. Try
Code:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
mount /mnt/cdrom

and all will be right with the world. :)

Note that you'll have to
Code:
umount /mnt/cdrom

before you can eject the disc when you are done.

Tried that and no go this is what that says.

mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/cdrom': No such file or directory.

Hmmm. I would think that /mnt would already exist, but try
Code:
mkdir /mnt

then the other 2 steps from the previous post.
