%post trouble

Try doing it this way...  should save you much work..

%post

#mount the cdrom
updfstab
mount /mnt/cdrom
cp /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/extras/mysqld.init /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld


That should be all you need.. the updfstab updates the /etc/fstab with 
/mnt/cdrom and points it to the correct device.  I'm sure you can figure 
out the rest :).

Good luck!
