Here is what I have in my fstab for mdk 9.0 and it works fine:

none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

Obviously, it's on a single line, but it wrapped in the email.

I don't use a desktop icon to access it though.  I can drop a cd in then 
access it simply by 'cd /mnt/cdrom' in an xterm.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
