Do you have autofs running? If so, check /etc/auto.master and/or
/etc/auto.mnt (I think, there might be others, but they're mentioned in the
.master file) whether autofs tries to mount the CD-ROM and remove the
offending line. Then "/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs restart"[0] and autofs will
re-read its tables.
