Mac OS X doesn't provide a /dev/cdrom link. You have to point it directly to 
the target device. To get a list of available devices, try

   $ diskutil list

Also make sure that all partitions and file systems on top of the CD-ROM are 
unmounted (diskutil unmount or just umount), as OSX won't allow direct access 
to /dev/disk1 otherwise.
