Subject: A difficulty in reading a CD-ROM under YDL 2.1

What happens to me is rather strange: while I have no trouble in reading the
YDL discs that I commonly use, I recently tried to have a look at some
software on LinuxPPC discs. And then it did not work at all. This is what I
got in trying to mount a LinuxPPC CD-ROM:
[root@sirius /root]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
So I tried to give the type iso9660 in the command line:
[root@sirius /root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
No sucess here.
The last thing that I tried was to write the type "iso9660" in place of
"auto" in /etc/fstab, so that this file now looks like this:
/dev/hda10 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda11 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 /giga hfs defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
Still no success.
I should be very grateful to anybody that could explain what is wrong, and
make suggestions to solve the problem.
I might add that I made a little search on the net, but found nothing
relevant to this particular case.
R.B.
