Sorry for the duplicate. It is a CD-ROM.

I executed all commands as root. The results are the same if I'm myself using sudo.

Sure, I have changed it a lot in light of these problems:
/dev/hda9 / ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda6 /home/cfalls ext3 noatime 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows vfat rw,noauto,umask=002 0 0
/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,rw,noauto 0 0
#/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,ro,noauto 0 0
#/dev/hdd /mnt/zip auto user,rw,noauto 0 0
#/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,umask=0 0 0

Yes. If I insert a disk, it is not mounted. Executing "mount /dev/hdc
/media/hdc" as root or using sudo works.
