There's a couple things you have to verify.  You've got to make sure
you've got support for the cdrom format in your kernel.  You've got to
make sure your kernel can see your cdrom.

If you cdrom is in fact your hdd drive, try this first:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom

Be sure that the /cdrom directory exists before you mount it.  If this
works, it will tell you that you do have iso9660 support in your kernel
and you kernel recognizes your cdrom hardware.  If this doesn't work,
check out references to your /dev/hdd device during boot or in the
output of dmesg.
