How would i create a link to a program to include switches.
Ex. create a link such as mountcd, which would call: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
i tried a symbolic link with ln but it did not work. maybe using a script? I am not sure. I have seen something similar to this at work, using find, but i do not have access to look at the file.
Thanks for any insight on this problem.

What you're looking for is not a symlink. symlinks are file system structures, and don't affect the vm machinery at all.
What I believe you are trying to do is introduce a script or an alias to run this command for you.
you could make a file named mountcd;
----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
----------------------------------------------
chmod a+x mountcd
then throw it in /usr/local/bin or something.
More appropriately, you could make an alias:
#alias mountcd mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /cdrom
you can also place that command in your .profile or .login
But the most correct way is to use /etc/fstab.
Insert the following line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
From then on, you can do
#mount /cdrom
to mount your cdrom.
As a point of interest, non-root users by default cannot mount file systems.
