I think Luke would've done better telling you to send us your dmesg
output, rather then telling you to send your /etc/fstab, since that
most likely isn't helpful, and your /etc/fstab seems to be no
exception to that. 

Anyway, if your cd-rom drive is /dev/hdc, then type the following as
root:

ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

. You should now be able to access your cd-rom drive as /dev/cdrom, if
it in fact is /dev/hdc. Hth.
