Did you try to mount the device itself rather than the link? ie : if your
cdrom is secondary master :
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
or if scsi emulation is enabled (which is likely, if you have a cd
burner) :
mount /dev/scd0 (or scd1) /mnt/cdrom
If one of these works, then you just :
rm /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/<working device> /dev/cdrom
to recreate the good link.
