You probably want 'noauto' as an option as well, and the cdrom
is usually /dev/cd0c (on i386 at least). The fifth and sixth
fields are usually not neccesary at all for a CDROM device (see
fstab(5)). My line looks like this:

/dev/cd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,nodev,nosuid,noauto

The choice of mount point is arbitrary.
