Well, installers set up a pretty simplified environment. Generally your 
IDE/ATAPI cdrom drives show up as hdb or hdc depending on if they are on the 
primary or secondary IDE channel. You should have a symlink from /dev/cdrom 
to /dev/hdc0 or /dev/hdb0 and an fstab entry in /etc/fstab something like

/dev/hdc0 /mnt/cdrom auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0

You may want to tweak that fstab entry and whatnot for supermount or autofs 
or whatever automounting system you use (not sure what Red Hat uses for that) 
if you want automounting.
