...hang...
...that will happen with any filesystem I try to mount/unmount at any time excluding
boot up. I've let it sit in it's "hanging" state over night, too, just to see if it
would time out or something after awhile, and it never did. Also happens whether I
use 'mount /dev/cdrom', 'mount /mnt/cdrom', 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom',
or whatever.
