RH 7.2 Install question -- mounting cdrom

[Ben Beeson]

Aloha and Happy Halloween,

	I have just installed RH 7.2 on a box that I am turning into a router.  
For some reason the cdrom won't mount (I want to have access to some 
linux documentation files while building the  router...)  The mount 
process errors out with the following messages:  
[root at router dev]# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device

[root at router dev]# ls -la /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Oct 31 20:21 /dev/cdrom -> 
/dev/hdc

[root at router dev]# ls -la /dev/hdc
brw-rw----    1 root     root      22,   0 Aug 30 10:30 /dev/hdc

[root at router dev]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device

My /etc/fstab file looks like this:  

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1

	OK, I'm stumped now.  I have tried to mount /dev/hdb also and have not 
had any "luck." Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mahalos in advance,
Ben
