Brian,

Once more, please confirm /etc/grub.conf contains an hdc= entry.

Then, as root create this symlink:

   # ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

With /dev/cdrom now defined, this line should work in your /etc/fstab:

   /dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  udf,iso9660   noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

The 'udf' entry is new for RH9, and largely optional. You might also
want to change 'owner' to 'user'. Naturally the /mnt/cdrom mount point
must also exist:

   # ls -l /mnt | grep cdrom
   drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 May 28 19:25 cdrom

If it's not there...

   # mkdir /mnt/cdrom
   # chmod 755 /mnt/cdrom

Then check the /proc/scsi directory for the proper entries. I have an
IDE CD-RW drive like you, plus an NCR-type SCSI card in my system:

[root lioness /]# ls -l /proc/scsi
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 May 29 23:33 ide-scsi
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 May 29 23:33 ncr53c8xx
-r--r--r--    1 root     root            0 May 29 23:33 scsi
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 May 29 23:33 sg

If you check the scsi file itself, it should look like this:

[root lioness /]# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: TOSHIBA  Model: DVD-ROM SD-R2002 Rev: 1129
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Note that IDE SCSI emulation in my system is detected after the native
SCSI card, so my IDE channel is scsi1. In your system it will probably
be scsi0.
