Well you can supposedly turn the automount stuff off from the System |
Preferences | Removable Drives and Media dialog.  I've not messed with
this, but perhaps it would be a good idea to explore it.  If it works
and turns off HAL-supported automounting then perhaps udev could be
configured to automount a CD on /mnt/cdrom, which would help me, or
turned off altogether to allow manual mounting, which would probably
benefit your situation.
