/dev/cdrom just disapeared

[Harry Hoffman]

Hi Juan,

/dev/cdrom is just a symlink to your actual CD-ROM drive. You can find out what
your device is by looking thru the kernel messages with the command dmesg.

Find the device and create a symlink from it to /dev/cdrom and you'll be fine.

HTH,
Harry
