Make it. That will solve the first problem. The second is that you need to tell "mount" that the disk in your CD drive has an iso9660 filesystem on it so it doesn't get all confused. Use this command, then, to mount the disk: mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom Make sure you really do have a disk with stuff on it in the drive.
