Well I don't either, it was just a typo which caused me to notice when I tried to mount. Basically all that there was to it is it said it couldn't recognize the CD-ROM as a block device. I have a Matsushita CR-585, 24X... That prompted me to look back at my kernel config because I thought I hadn't included CDROM support. But sure enough it was there, listed as compiled into kernel, but as a module it worked fine.
