No, it gives the same error dialog and this in the terminal :
stein@fanix:~$ gnome-mount -v -b -d /dev/scd0
gnome-mount 0.8
** (gnome-mount:5966): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_10B8_EBCC
Device /dev/scd0 is in /etc/fstab with mount point "/media/cdrom0"
** Message: /bin/mount said error 8192, stdout='', stderr='mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

No, it gives the same error dialog and this in the terminal :
stein@fanix:~$ gnome-mount -v -b -d /dev/scd0 p/Hal/devices/ volume_ uuid_10B8_ EBCC
gnome-mount 0.8

Again, "mount /dev/scd0 /mnt" works fine.
