Just look at the lines that are already there to get an idea of what you should add. 'man 5 fstab' is your friend btw. In the options field add `user', so you can mount the device as mortal user and `noauto' so linux doesn't try to mount a possibly empty cdrom tray at boot time. When you have done this, `mount /dcrom` will mount the cdrom. `cat /etc/mtab` shows what is mounted now, just like `mount` btw.
