Shouldn't that line read like this? :

> >/dev/hdc        /cdrom       iso9660     defaults,noauto,ro   1   1

I have never used a partition identifier (i.e. the '4' on '/dev/hdc4') for
mounting a CD-ROM.  I think the mount version is a bit of a red herring -
it's the kernel code that accesses the CD-ROM on /dev/hdcX that's
important.
