I can create a link manually just using ln -sf /dev/acd0 > /dev/cdrom and the entry will stay there until I reboot the machine. > Upon reboot, the entry is wiped out as devfs re-initializes itself (this > is my guess anyway).

There's either not much documentation on this subject or I'm > just not looking in the right place.
