The mounting directory for devices has changed to /media vs. the old 
standard of /mnt. Also, a lot of media is not mounted by the label that 
the media inside the device contains. Sy you have a DVD labeled. "My 
Favorite DVD", the mountpoint would /media plus the disc label.

Check the entries in /media to see if your device is listed within that 
directory. Sometimes the DVD or whatever gets labeled as a disk, thus 
/media/disk would be your mountpoint.

I think remembering /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/dvd would be more rational, but 
things change.
