Check your /etc/fstab
Mine have appropriate line in it:
/dev/cdrom		/media/cd		auto	ro,user,noauto,unhide	0 0

Try 'man fstab' in case of any questions.

Hiisi, thanks for your help.

fstab did not have any /dev/cdrom entry present, but my other FC
machines did not have an entry either.

I added the line item entry into /etc/fstab and was able to mount the
drive using the root account, but not a regular user.

My other FC machines recognize the presence of a cdrom and mount it
automatically and that is what I would prefer to do.

Any ideas?
