Does /dev/cdrom exist on your machine? If so, is it a symlink to /dev/acd1?
I suspect not.
From the xmcd manpage:
-dev device
Specifies the path name to the raw CD-ROM device.
If this option is not used, the default device to
be used is the first drive set up with the xmcd
configuration program (See below).
So, either run it as ``xmcd -dev /dev/acd1'' or, preferably, run the
config program to tell xmcd which CD device to use (see the section
DEVICE CONFIGURATION in the manpage).

If I buy a copy of WinDelete, and it doesn't delete Windows,
am I entitled to my money back?
