Trouble mounting cd &/or cdrw drives

Question

New arch install on PIII, XFCE4.  Cd drive is primary, cdrw is slave.
$hwd -s
cd     /dev/hdc
cdrw /dev/hdd
fstab
/dev/hdc   /mnt/cdrom   iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/hdd  /mnt/cdrw       iso9660 rw,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
I've tried to mount both devices with several different cd types(audio,data,cd-r,cd-rw) and everytime I get the same output:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdX,
missing codepage or other error
$dmesg|tail
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 88
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 96
hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=16
It seems like I need to change the filesystem type in fstab, but I've tried auto and udf, and have had little luck finding info elsewhere.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The fs type is iso9660.  Therefore, the type is already specified in your /etc/fstab.  You need merely 'mount /mnt/cdrom', etc.
From 'man mount':
Thus, given a line:
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using the command:
mount /dev/cdrom
or:
mount /cd
EDIT: Besides, if you're running a DE (such as KDE), removing the reference from /etc/fstab altogether is nice, because your DE will then automatically mount the media in -- of all places -- '/media/???' and (at least under KDE) pop open a window showing the CD's contents -- or even start an audio or video player.
