This needs to be upgraded. dev_name is not supposed to be the device
in /dev, but any symbolic name you like. With udev etc., all you need
to do is

pktsetup mycd /dev/hdd

All you need for this to work is a directory /dev/pktcdvd
If this directory exists and has some stuff in it, you can complete
remove the directory and recreate it with a simple "mkdir /dev/pktcdvd"
Then use "pktsetup mycd /dev/hdd" and later on you can use "pktsetup -d mycd".

Mounting then works with "mount /dev/pktcdvd/mycd /wherever"

That's it.

Frank
