This was with the easy install and the debian style. My reason for the hd install is to get access to the cd (and dvd) player.
OK I keep seeing the same issue over and over again. It really isn't complicated. When you get "can't seem to find /mnt/cdrom." it just telling you that fstab can't mount the drive on the mount point that it has been told to use. THe proper way to mount a drive
mount /device /mount/point
EXAMPLE:
mount /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb
NOT
mount /dev/hdb
Unless fstab has a definition for /dev/hdb you'll never get it mounted. If you want your cdrom drive mounted on /mnt/cdrom then just make the mount point yourself.
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
You can mount a drive to any mount point you want as long as the mount point actually exists.
