Do you mean that VMware provides a virtual CD-ROM that has the tools on
it? (I am just trying to guess.)

If you need this, you're supposed to make /dev/cdrom a symlink to your
actual CD drive device - e.g., with:
ln -s hdc /dev/cdrom
or:
ln -s scd0 /dev/cdrom
(see dmesg to determine the device name to use here).
Then simple "mount /mnt/cdrom" should work.
