I don't have a directory or a file named /etc/dev.  Did you /dev?

Anyways, it is impossible for me to delete the link:

  peter:/dev > ls -la cdrom ; sudo rm cdrom ; ls -la cdrom
  lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           16 Feb 25 11:46 cdrom -> ../cdroms/cdrom0
  lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           16 Feb 25 11:48 cdrom -> ../cdroms/cdrom0

and trying -f to ln does not help either:  

  peter:/dev > sudo ln -s -f cdroms/cdrom3 cdrom
  ln: creating symbolic link `cdrom' to `cdroms/cdrom3': File exists

So my assumption was that devfsd really insists on having the link due
to a configuration option.
