This would depend on the distribution of linux really, but it's largely going to be down to your automounter. If you are using one, then just use something like:
Code:
if mount | grep cdrom > /dev/null
...
.
If not, then you'll need to test the device - easiest way would be to mount it IMO, something like:
Code:
if mount /mnt/cdrom
...
You might need to first check if it's already mounted, and possibly include a step to unmount it again if you need it unmounted.

msdos
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
