mount

mount -t type device destination_dir

Mount a CD-ROM

The device file for CD would exist under /dev directory. For example, a CD-ROM device will be mounted as shown below.

# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt

In the above example, the option “-o ro” indicates that the cdrom should be mounted with read-only access. Also, make sure that the destination directory (in the above example, /mnt) exist before you execute the mount command.
