As a quick follow up: Here is a script that I just wrote that seems to do what
I
want, but would only work with a hdx cdrom. It also seems to be more than
should be required. It just list the hdx devices that were found, and checks to
see if one isn't listed in the /proc/partitions, and assumes that is the cdrom.
cd /dev
devices=`ls hd?`;
for h in $devices
do
drive=`cat /proc/partitions | grep $h`;
if [ -z "$drive" ]; then
ln -s /dev/$h /dev/cdrom ;
fi
done
