Re: cdrom access with commands

I suggest you try AutoFS, a daemon that automatically mount and umount your devices on demand, without typing any commands. Look at this WIKI.. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AutoFS_HowTo

If this is to complicated or just not what you want, you can simply do it manually:
1. mkdir /mnt/cdrom
    (make a directory to mount your cd-drive. this is just an example, you can make a directory wherever you want)
2. mount -t auto /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
    (mount your cd-drive, in this example /dev/hdd, to /mnt/cdrom with "auto" filesystem)
3. umount /dev/hdd
     (umount when done..)

You can also add your cdrom to /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
