The Volume Management daemon, vold, creates and maintains a file system image rooted at root-dir that contains symbolic names for CD-ROM and floppy, ZIP/JAZ, and DVD-ROM devices and other removable devices. Use volcheck command to checks for media in a drive and by default checks all floppy media.
1) First put CDROM/DVD into drive
2) For CDROM: After few second change directory /cdrom/cdrom0 or /cdrom/VOL_NAME
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0
3) For DVDROM: After few second change directory /dvd/VOL_NAMRE
If this does not works make sure volmgt daemon is running:
# /etc/init.d/volmgt start
Scan for devices both cd or floopy using:
#volcheck
