Ok, when I do this:

# mount -o session=0 /mnt/cdrom

I get the first session I wrote, and when I do this:

# mount -o session=1 /mnt/cdrom

I get the second session.

The man page showed the upper-case "O", and mount did not complain
when I used the "-O", but still only gave me the second session.

When I use the "-o" rather than "-O" I can get the various sessions.
