Can't mount cdrom

["Jared L. Black" <jaybee bendcable com>]

I have RH8.0, which has X-CD-ROAST (ver0.98alpha9) as a CD burner.  I
used it one time to create a data CD and it worked OK except somehow it
took the /dev/cdrom line out of the fstab file.  Now I can't get any CD
to load in the drive.  

If I do a mount /mnt/cdrom command (as root) I get the error: 

mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist

Also, when I boot up, I get the line

updating /etc/fstab cannot stat /dev/cdrom: no such file or directory
[failed]


I edited the fstab file and put the correct cdrom line back, but that
didn't help.

The line is (some spaces deleted to fit on one line in this message)

/dev/cdrom     /mnt/cdrom  iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
 
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
