There is a space after mount...
"mount<space>/dev/hdb/cdrom"

try
mount /dev/cdrom
if that fails
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if that fails
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
if that fails
mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

mnt/cdrom does not exist
Unless you're in the root directory ('/') it's important to add the beginning slash: "/mnt/cdrom" when declaring the mount point.
