2 notes here
- the mount command should be as follows:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mount_point
[please note is it iso9660 rather than is09660]

-you can avoid the symbolic link from /dev/cdrom to your cd 
drive if you just specify it on the command line, like this
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mount_point

Good Luck!
