the iso9660 is the CD format, you want to use it to mount your CDs. when
you do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/<your-cdrom-device-here> /some/mount/point,
what is the error it gives? your cdrom device should be something like
/dev/hdc (secondary IDE channel, slave) if its IDE.
You do not need to modify /etc/fstab necessarily btw, its main use is to
automount parititions which you don't want to do w. CDs in most cases
because of the nasty errors you get when you forget to leave a CD in hte
CDROM.
