Matt,

I also see the message about /dev/pts/0, but have no answer.  However, I
believe the cdrom message is from magicdev.  I do not see it until I log
into X.  I've seen it in RH7.3 and RH9 as well.  Magicdev is trying to
figure out if a cdrom is in the drive and is not finding one.  Could be
little more elegant, but is probably normal.
