[lug] mount cdrom (fs types)

Ok. So I had to get away from the Kernel compiles for a few :}

And I'm a proud new owner of a strictly KRUD machine. Windoze is outta
here for the 3rd time in 6 months. And I swear I'm not going back this 
time, I will find a way to view Word docs. :}

I'm installing Win4Lin Eval and I need to mount a Windoze install CD. But
I can't get the FS type correct. I've tried:

autofs
iso9660
vfat
umsdos
msdos

I tried mounting an ext2 and it worked fine. The error I recieve when
trying to mount is wrong fs type (not the "not supported" error). 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? 

I'm using 

mount -t fs_type_above /dev/cdrom 


Thanks,

John
