I set up a workstation to run a local app, which needs the local CD-ROM drive (Giantdisc: http://www.giantdisc.com). The initial problem was that although the workstation loaded the ide-cd module, there were no devices /dev/hd[a,b,c,d] to mount. I thought they would be created automatically by loading the module, but that was wrong. Anselm Martin Hoffmeister (thanks again!) then gave me the advice to create the devices manually using mknod (see manpage for details) and provided the following example: > Try creating /dev/hda etc. with mknod (man mknod).

However, there was a small mistake in the above because the mkdir command will not work. This is because the root filesystem of the client, which is where the /cdrom directory is supposed to be created, is mounted read-only by the client (because it's shared among several clients). So trying to mkdir from the client will fail. The "solution" was to create the directory on the server. That way, all clients see the /cdrom directory, and the special client with the local app can mount its CD-ROM. That was it. I now have a local app which can access the local CD-ROM drive in the client.
