Well, how about using readcd, a dd-like tool for extracting disc images for
copying purposes. It's a part of the cdrecord suite, and does extensive
retries on errors. You *do* need to have your cd configured as a scsi device,
but this works fine on my IDE burner (which appears as scsi due to
hdc=ide-scsi in the boot string, and the correct options enabled in the
kernel).
type man readcd for the details. There are examples of usage in the manpage.
Then you can just do a loopback mount of the image file (if readcd manages to
read the disc effectively). To mount the file cd_image created above on the
directory /cdrom, give the command:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cd_image /cdrom
