Mplayer doesn't need a dvd symlink. It will look for /dev/dvd by

That's a good suggestion and may offer a solution to the mplayer issue.
We could replace the bit about making the /dev/dvd symlink with (for
example)
echo "-dvd-device=/dev/hdc" > ~/.mplayer/config
But even that would need some discussion about udev. The default LFS
rules currently create /dev/hd* owned by the group disk. To make it
accessible by the video group requires altering the rule so it only
catches hda and hdb, then a separate rule can create hdc with group video.
