[Nolug] CD/ROM: "No medium found"

/dev/cdrom shows up in User Mount Tool but yields "no medium found" when
Mount is clicked.

For my external usb cd-dvd reader/burner, 'mount /dev/sdb /mnt/cdrw' gives
'/dev/sdb is not a valid block device.' ls -l /dev/sdb shows 'brw-rw---- 1
root disk 8, 16 Feb 23 2004'

The following are in /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/sdb /mnt/cdrw udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

When at first the mount points didn't show up, I did mkdir /mnt/cdrom, etc.
as root.
