Or create a link as follows:

ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

To mount it, if it's not doing that already use:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
To mount it automatically you can put that line into one of your boot files
in:
/etc/rc.d
And add it to your /etc/fstab file, that way you can say,
mount cdrom
or
umount cdrom
instead of using that nasty long command.
