Re: mount a cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /directory
If you have an entry in /etc/fstab, this should be enough :
mount /dev/cdrom

Re: mount a cdrom
Is that what you used? It should be "/dev/cdrom".
What's the result of:
ls -l /dev/cdrom

Re: mount a cdrom
# mount /dev/cdrom
shouldn't need any other arguements or additions. The line in /etc/fstab should contain the proper verbage for handling the filesystem type and other such.
If you added the cd after install (but then how did you install?) use redhat's kudzu to detect and configure the cdrom. (Actually, this should automatically happen at bootup, again, unless you set your system up strangely...)
Best of luck

Re: mount a cdrom
1/ always unmount your cdrom ('umount /dev/cdrom' as root?) before trying to eject it.
2/ always 'cd' out of any directory in a cdrom's mount path e.g. if you have an xterm whose current directory is /dev/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS, and minimise the xterm window and forget about it, you'll have a merry old dance trying to eject the cdrom from another xterm.
NB I'm pretty sure the 'cdrom' icon on the desktop is a clever little tool that will allow you to get around some of these issues, and jolly good that is too, but I always prefer working from anonymous little xterms and need to know the longwinded way of typing commands in :)
