audio cd's play in my dvd player,

ls -la /dev/cdrom
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Apr 1 19:56 /dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0


ls -la /dev/dvd
ls: /dev/dvd: No such file or directory

So does this mean I need to somehow link /dev/dvd to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

my /etc/fstab looks like this

/dev/BOOT /boot ext3 noauto,noatime $/dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime $/dev/SWAP none swap sw $/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro $proc /proc proc defaults $


Thanks

You need something like this in your /etc/devfsd.conf (adapt according to your configuration)
Code:

# Create /dev/dvd for the second cdrom drive
# (change 'cdroms/cdrom1' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP      ^dvd$           CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 dvd
REGISTER    ^cdrom/cdrom0$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname dvd
UNREGISTER  ^cdrom/cdrom0$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd


Don't forget to restart devfsd (killall -HUP devfsd) after changing the configuration.
