Should be "iso9660", not "is09660". Also, could your "/dev/cdrom" be a
symlink to "/dev/hdc"? I believe you would want the line to look more like:

 /dev/hdc       /mnt/cdrom      iso9660  noauto,ro....

/dev/hdc should be the first drive on the second IDE port, which is the
usual place to plug in a CD-ROM drive.
