man fstab will help.

The file /etc/fstab contains information about system partitions and any 
other partition that you intend to use on a regular basis.  You can still 
mount volumes on an ad hoc basis but you may need to explicitlly specify 
the file type eg

mount -thfs /dev/hda6 /mnt/somwehere

Depends on the format of the CD - and there are several - you may not be 
able to acess all the informatin from every CD.
