Then it should read /dev/cdrom not the fstab. A command line argument to
find the correct path to the CD should suffice. If all else fails, a
'grep -i "iso9660" /etc/fstab' should return a line with the mount
directory.

This problem occurs when I play a lot of anything. Seems to happen
faster during bombing run though.
