Fdisk has nothing to do with mounting a CDROM. Use the mount command
for this. The command line is like:

mount -t iso960 /dev/mcd0 /cdrom

You must have first installed the mcd driver into your kernel. This is
available on sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu. If you have not
installed the driver, it no work.
