Package Management not finding CD


I'm trying to get GCC installed on Red Hat 9 and I've run the
rehat-config-packages command and chose the Development Tools.
The Package Management program begins the upgrade
process and prompts for "Red Hat Linux 9 disk 2".

I insert the 2nd installation CD and press OK but I'm still prompted
for disk 2. I have auto-mount setup for the CD and have verified
that the CD is mounted.
In a terminal window, I see the 2nd CD in /mnt/cdrom and I can tell by
doing a ls that it is indeed the 2nd installation CD.
Why do I keep getting prompted for the 2nd CD?
How can I verify that the Package Management program is looking
in /mnt/cdrom for the 2nd installation disk? Is there something I
need to setup?

Or...
mount your cdrom, cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS and simply use rpm -ivh on the package you want to install, or rpm -Uvh if you are upgrading.
