fstab entry for cdrom

Refurbishing a old lap top for a friend. pii 300mhz 128MBram.
When mounting the cdrom I get an error saying "wrong fs type, bad option,bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or to many mounted file systems"

fstab entry is
"/dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 00"

Shouldn't it be "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0"

Is /mnt/auto/cdrom correct it is the default from install

Well it looks like this is just diffrent way of doing things than I'm used to. I still haven't figured out why the error. I may try doing a frugal install instead maybe the cdrom will mount properly then. Will the system be slower with the frugal install?

Turns out that the cdrom was mounted. The mount tool just thinks it'not.
