Mounting FC1 cd1 as normal user fails when in enforcing mode, but is
allowed (with audit) when in permissive mode.
Note: I relinked files in a modified way, it is straightforward, but I
apologize if it confuses (/mnt/cdrom1 is not used, but links
to /mnt/cdrw).
/mnt/cdrw: directory
/dev/hdd: block special (22/64)

(success mounting)
