Close, but you were actually closer the first time. I'm assuming you 
want these discs to appear at /media/cdroms[0|1], whereas I'm mounting 
my DVD drive at /dvd and my CD drive at /cdrom. This is what I would do, 
given your mountpoints and devices:

/dev/acd0        /media/cdroms0     cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
/dev/acd1        /media/cdroms1     cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
^^^^^^^^^        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^     ^^^^^^
device           mountpoint         filesystem type

See man fstab.
