/dev/hdb is the block device name for the CD. It will be printed during
bootup, but you can review the boot messages with the 'dmesg' command. You
should edit /etc/fstab and put an entry like this:
/dev/hdb /cdrom auto noauto,ro,defaults,user 0 0
Depending on your m68k, your CD interface may be something entirely
different (scsi?) or it may need a special module.. Look at the boot
messages.
