It looks like you don't have the directory /dev/pktcdvd. Create that directory
and your pktsetup command should work. Then you should be able to mount the
packet device with:

# mount /dev/pktcdvd/pktcdvd0 /cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime

The key point is that the first argument provided to pktsetup is the name of the
device file that will be created (temporarily) in /dev/pktcdvd and it can be any
string that is a valid file name. Therefore, if you want you can change pktcdvd0
in the above example to something more meaningful. For example:

# pktsetup cdrw /dev/hdc

# mount /dev/pktcdvd/cdrw /cdrom -t udf -o rw,noatime

I use cdrw and dvdrw as the names for my devices.

Hope this helps
