Ok... long story short im new to linux and having problems mounting the cdrom drive

dev/hda2 /ext3 defaults 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fdo/floppy auto user,noauto 00
/dev/cdrom/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto 00

Thats the result of doing a
Code:
cat fstab
I was told this doesnt have any mountpoints? (no real understanding of what this means )

Now when I do a
Code:
mount /dev/cdrom
it says special device does not exist


So I tried to create the dir /mnt/cdrom and then do it, it said the device was allready mounted or in use. When I deleted the (still empty) dir and tried to mount it again I got the 'special device does not exist'


Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
