How can I mount a cdrom connected via usb manually?
In my fstab there is no line that could be applied for a cdrom.
Regards and thank you all!!!
The device special file for optical drives will normally be /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom ─ the latter is usually just a symlink to the former.
The manual command for mounting it would therefore be something like… 
mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt
… presuming that /mnt is where you’d want it mounted. However, if you plan on mounting optical media more often, then perhaps you might want to create a more permanent mountpoint for it, e.g. /media or /media/cdrom ─ you’ll need root privileges for creating that directory/path ─ and adding a line for it in /etc/fstab, something along the likes of…
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,nodev,defaults 0 0
Then you can mount it every time with the simple command…
mount /media/cdrom
… or…
mount /dev/cdrom
