Check a file called /etc/fstab.  See if there is a line in there that looks
something like this:
/dev/cdrom        /mnt/cdrom    iso9660    0 0.
Then check the /mnt directory and see if there is a directory called cdrom.
If not add the directory to /mnt.  Then type mount /dev/cdrom in the command
line.  Then you change you directory to /mnt/cdrom.  And there you have it.
