No "ls"? It's a standard *nix command! Are you sure "ls" is what the

What mount commands do work?

The ls command is in the /bin diecrtory on the cd. This is the wierd part I
am booting from the CD. However I cannot use the ls command I get "not
found"

When I try the mount command which odly enough does work the exact error is
Not A Directory.
I tried several variations on this:

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom
mount returns a message that hdc is write protected and mounting read only
mount the returnds the following message Not a directory
