I added the lines to fstab
/dev/scd0 /media/DVD iso9660 noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /media/CDROM iso9660 noauto 0 0
it worked just fine. There is another issue which has arouse now. There is now shortcuts(came automatically) to my cdrom and dvdwriter which is not working if I try to open it. It says 'Feature only available with HAL'

Anything in fstab will be mountfed at boot - if it isnt present then
boot fails. Not nice.
I think the way might be with udev rules.

Not true if you put the 'noauto' option in the fourth column of the
fstab file. This then makes the values for such things as dvd and
cdrom easier to use with mount etc. but prevents any problems at boot
time.
For example I have:-
//192.168.1.10/C /home/chris/xp cifs noauto,user,password="" 0 0
in my /etc/fstab which mounts my vmware XP drive so it's visible from
Linux. Obviously the XP guest isn't running at boot time so I have
the 'noauto' option there. With the 'user' option as well I can just
say "mount xp" to get at my Windows XP files.
