You're using IRIX 4.0.x. Under IRIX 5.x, it just works.
Under IRIX 4.0.x you can, but only to another SGI (see the previous
question) and there's a catch. Add the CD-ROM filesystem to
/etc/exports and export it with 'exportfs' *before* you mount the
CD-ROM. For more detail, read
ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/hardware/cdrom/exporting-iso-9660-cdrom or
the article in the Jan/Feb 1993 Pipeline, or for an up-to-date copy
call the TAC and ask for SGI's writeup on "Mounting an ISO 9660 CD
Across NFS".
