CD-Rom Drive Not Mounting

I am almost up and running with Linux on my PS3.

I had some struggles with the install but have solved all issues but 
one. I can't get the CD-ROM to work.

I installed desktop 7.10 Ubuntu from a CD so I am sure the drive works, 
and it is a configuration issue.

Here is fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/ps3da2
UUID=281151d3-dc67-4e57-b918-0c9371ff5dea / ext3 
defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/ps3da3
UUID=d528b54e-0d48-03b8-d42e-75a927573c0f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

I searched the net and added the ro, which was not part of the original 
file created by the install.

Here is mount:

stephen at stephen-desktop:~$ mount
/dev/ps3da2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)


So I see it is not mounted, but I do not understand why.

I run sudo mount -a in the terminal and it does no good.

I cannot see anything relevant in the system logs or messages.

I am stumped.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Stephen
