can not mount cd from within KVM guest

[baboo]

I apologize for posting something this basic. I installed slackware as guest on kvm, all appears to be working. I need to install additional applications in slackware from a cd. However, when I 'mount /mnt/cdrom' I get a message:

mount: /dev/sr0: unkown device

Could someone point me to a solution or tell me what I am doing wrong?

thanks

I do not know slackware but on the KVM side just do this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Hardware_setup_for_KVM_guests_(Video)

On modern guest the CDrom should be mounted automatically.
