apt-get requests iso cd, unmounts

I'm attempting to install numerous packages with apt-get and it requests a cd. I have both a dvd with an iso image on it that I fetched with jigdo (equivalent to 7 cd iso's) and a cd with binary-1.iso on it.

More specifically, apt-get outputs...
Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled
'Debian GNU/Linux testing _Sarge_ - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20050423)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

I keyed in on the '/cdrom' portion of the output. Normally I mount '/dev/cdrom' to '/mnt/cdrom', so I added '/cdrom' to fstab.

Code:

/dev/cdrom 	/cdrom 	        iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto     0	    0

I mount to '/cdrom' and hit enter at the prompt. It then promptly precedes to unmount the cd. I can't figure out why. It is asking for 'Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1', which is what the cd contains.

Thanks

I think it wants to mount the CD itself.. So, just put it in and dont mount it? Just an idea.. (:

Still a no go. Thanks for the suggestion though.
