I think that effectively tries to overmount your root partition with the amd
map you constructed. I think you want to either look around the amd docs for
"direct" mount references or do something like this [untried] bit...
mkdir /amd_devices
amd /amd_devices amd.cdrom.map
rmdir /cdrom
ln -s /amd_devices/cdrom /
So, amd would mount /amd_devices/cdrom when referenced and cd'ing to /cdrom
would follow the symbolic link into /amd_devices/cdrom, thus causing it to be
mounted.
Maybe...I think...
