Now first I admit ignorance but isn't a mount point just a directory reference in 
fstab?

That is, link /dev/hdX to /mnt/xxxx, or any other directory for that
matter?

The mount point should be a trivial change. Since you can already
identify a DVD player you know which is which.

It kept throwing me off so I made the change myself and thought most
people new to Linux would intuitively call the device dvd (/mnt/dvd) not
cdromX.

Sorry about reference to xine, thought that was /mnt/dvd not /dev/dvd.
