mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom  works OK with REdHat, but you will 
need to create the subdirectory /cdrom within /mnt first, iof it doesn't 
already exist.

It is safer to use: mount -t iso9660 -oro /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
That just tells the system it is "read-only" (I guess it is obviously 
read-only if it's a cdrom, but I don't know if the system knows that!).
