  Hi
  At a recent startup I got the message "unable to stat /dev/cdrom" (I th=
ink) - the cdrom link in /dev pointing to /dev/scd0 had been deleted - do=
n't know how.
  A Web search produced no useful hits.
  I had already decided to do a re-install sometime, so just brought it f=
orward which solved the problem.
  The question is how would I have resolved the problem otherwise?
  a) What command(s) would I use to reinstate /dev/cdrom and the link? mk=
node?=20
  b) Would a reinstall of dev-3.3.2-5.i386.rpm have been appropriate?
  TIA
