If you want to create /dev/cdrom, you can simply make a symlink:

  ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom

This is what the distros generally do at install time when they
configure your cdrom drive.  As I recall, there are disadvantages to
using the symlink as opposed to the actual device file, but I can't
remember what they might be.  Or, I could just be entirely confused,
and thinking about something else...
