Do you have /etc/devfsd.conf set up correctly?
| 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

so I found out that I wasnt loading the following modules
insmod cdrom.o
insmod ide-cd.o
after I loaded those, the /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 showed up
so I now have those insmod statements in /etc/conf.d/local.start
Im sure theres a mo-better place to put these, right? |

| Put the module names that your want to load (in this case ide-cd and cdrom) in /etc/modules.autoload |
