fedora hasn't put entries for CD drives into fstab for quite a long time
and I suspect that this entry above was either carried through many
updates or as a solution found by some search.

Are you trying this inside of a GUI - if so, it should just automount
for the 'user' when the user inserts the CD. If it does not automount
when inserted, typing 'dmesg' (as root) should give you some clues at
the end of the output.

If you are doing this without a GUI and perhaps in say runlevel 3, then
try from command line...

mkdir /media/cd
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cd

and see what happens
