Note: atapi cdrom is an IDE drive.  Treat it kinda like an
enhanced IDE hard drive and mount it like:

mount -tiso9660 -oro /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

Insert hdb or other depending on how many ext2 partitions you
have.  The cdrom will be the one after your last one.  Using
/dev/cdrom didn't work for me either, with the same error
messages.  Then I thought of the above after exhausting all
the /dev's that looked like cdrom drivers.  :-)
