I had a similar problem related to /dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/hdc 
instead of /dev/scd0

What does running the below commad from a terminal display for you?

ls -la /dev/cdrom

It should be similar to the below. If it shows /dev/hdx you might need 
to edit your symlink or just change the device line to /dev/scd0 in 
place of /dev/cdrom in your /etc/fstab file. (first entry, not the 
/mnt/cdrom entry)

ls -la /dev/cdrom

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root    9 Oct  7 18:32 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
