Hello again,

Thank you, Sean, for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, using these mount command specs. doesn't solve the problem.
I have been hacking around with mtab and fstab, etc., but have had not met
with any luck.

Pls. advise if anyone has any further thoughts.
Thank you again for any input!
Regards,
Eric

Try this:

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom

By specifying the fs type and the rw capability, you've eliminated the
computers' guess work.
