I'm not sure if it works everywhere, but on all the systems I've got, there's a field in /proc/scsi/scsi that indicates what sort of device you're talking to (see samples, below...I've seen CD-ROM, Direct-Access (hdd), Sequential-Access (tape drive), and processor (my RAID controller)), so something like: [ -n "`sed -n /CD-ROM/p /proc/scsi/scsi`" ] && ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom Ought to work...
