In Linux, it is not enough to simply put a CD ROM into the computer. You may also have to tell the system to make it accessible (mount it.)
First, determine the CD ROM's location by typing blkid
(in our example, we'll call it /dev/sr1
)
Second, create a directory (in /mnt) to access it mkdir /mnt/cdrom
Third mount the device at the newly-created directory: mount /dev/sr1 /mnt/cdrom
Now, the CD-ROM will be accessible at /mnt/cdrom
