I doubt that /dev/cdrom automagically points to the scsi0 device. I'm
guessing that you need to try /dev/scd0 or whatever the first scsi device
is called. (I don't use scsi interfaces on my machines.)

Unless there is some new bug in the base system (which I doubt), you
should be able to mount /dev/hda1 with the following command:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
Of course, if you failed to install the vfat module or at least the msdos
filesystem module, then you're going to have a problem.
Thanks. Syrus.
