Ah; I asked because your fstab says scd0, but this might have been
setup wrong by the installer. So

  mount /cdrom

should fail on your system, I suppose.

Can you please edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/scd0 to /dev/sr0? This
should make both 'mount /cdrom' and 'pmount /dev/sr0' working again,
and the automatic mounting should work as well.

Thanks,

Martin
