I stand corrected.
To my surprise, entries for /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 (cdrom1 would
point to my HP CD Writer) were not created in fstab during the initial
installation of Fedora Core. I don't use CDs much these days so I didn't
notice this till recently.
I removed the graphical boot for this machine and noticed boot time
errors this morning for /dev/cdrom. I then tried mounting a CD. It failed.
So, there is a configuration script somewhere that is not creating the
right symlinks.
