The command is "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom".  SCSI emulation
is not _necessary_, and if used, would cause the command to become
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom".

You can't mount a device on a device.

That should have worked, but change the first /dev thing to /dev/cdrom.
You should also make sure you have a "/dev/cdrom" entry (probably a
symbolic link to /dev/hdd or /dev/hdb).
