like this in your fstab:

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 user,noauto,ro  0 0

This will let you mount. But not write to the devices. That is another story.
Probably another option in fstab. Have a look at "man mount"

>/etc/auto.floppy, /etc/auto.cdrom, and /etc/auto.master. An example:
