No CDROM

OK, I'm some what new to Linux but seem to have a problem on my second
system with Fedora. It was a clean install, but sharing disk space with
the dark side.
Motherboard: Abit IC7-MAX3
Kernel-smp#2.6.1-1.126 (but the core 1 2.4 didn't work either)
My fstab has:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb /web vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
When I run Hardware Browser (hwbrowser) it reports:
CD-ROM Drives Plextor CD-R PX-W1210A
Manufacturer: PLEXTOR
Driver: none or built-in
Device: /dev/hdc
However when I manually try to mount ...
[root at localhost root]# mount cdrom
mount: can't find cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[root at localhost root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
[root at localhost root]# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device
Any suggestions where to look and what to try? Oh and yes, the
/mnt/cdrom directory exists.
Damn annoying since the system booted and loaded from the CD in the
first place.
