Which is fair  enough - /mnt/cdrom is a directory, you'll find your block 
devices in the /dev/ directory. For a basic mount command you could try  
something like:

	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

For more information use the following command:

	man mount
and

	man -k mount

could also be of some benefit.
