On unix when you mount a disk, you specify a mount point. For example, if I mount /dev/md/dsk/d6 on /opt, then the files would all be under /opt.
Cdrom's under SunOS are usually handled by the volume manager. By default the volume manager will mount under /cdrom/<something> where <something> is a string that it got from the cd.
Try the command:
df -k
and see if you see anything with a "cdrom" in it.

rmmount(1) User Commands rmmount(1)
NAME
rmmount, rmumount - mounts and unmounts removable media
SYNOPSIS
rmmount [-u] [-o options] [nickname | device] [mount_point]
rmmount [-d] [-l]
rmumount [nickname | mount_point | device]
rmumount [-d] [-l]
DESCRIPTION
The rmmount and rmumount utilities mount and unmount removable or hot-pluggable volumes. The optional argument can identify the volume by
its volume label, mount point or block device path.
rmmount can also take additional mount options if the user has sufficient privileges to override the default mount options.
Unmounting removable media does not result in its ejection. Use eject(1) to optionally unmount and eject the media.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for rmmount and rmumount:
-d Display the device path of the default device. This device is used if no arguments are supplied.
-l Display the paths and nicknames of mountable devices.
The following options are supported for rmmount only:
-o options Display mount options. This option can only be used by users that have privileges to override the system default options.
-u Unmounts the volume as opposed to mounting it.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
device Specifies which device to mount or unmount, by the name it appears in the directory /dev.
mount_point Specifies which device to mount or unmount, by the name it appears in the directory /dev.
nickname Specifies which device to mount or unmount, by its nickname as known to this command.
