01. Create a mount point – A place to load the data structure of the storage device (One time only)
[root@daddylinux~]# mkdir /media/cdrom

02. See a mount point
[root@daddylinux~]# ls -l /media

03. Verify the device driver assigned to your ROM
[root@daddylinux~]# ls -l /dev/cd*
eg - /dev/scd0 , /dev/scd1 , /dev/scd2

04. Mounting the ROM
[root@daddylinux~]# mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom

05. See the ROM data
[root@daddylinux~]# cd /media/cdrom
[root@daddylinux~]# ls –l

06. To take out the media
[root@daddylinux~]# cd
[root@daddylinux~]# eject
[root@daddylinux~]# eject /dev/scd0
