Add and entry to /etc/fstab to make it something like (make sure the entry is  
READ_ONLY!!!).  If there is not a disk in the CD-Rom drive apon boot up, it  
will ask you to insert the disk into the drive.  Also, this has only worked  
for the NeXTStep Prerelease disks.  This does not work for any ISO9600 format  
disks for some strange reason (we wanted to have Exploring Mathematics with  
Mathematica mounted in one of our drives.  Caused a panic every time we  
booted):
