cdrom /dev/scd0


hello
my device of my cdrom is /dev/scd0
but in the /etc/fstab is written that the device is /dev/cdrom
Quote:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
I replaces the /dev/cdrom with /dev/scd0 and than it works. But when I restart the computer the fstab file is changed automaticaly and he writes /dev/cdrom in the file and then my cdromdrive don't work any more.
what can I do, that the computer don't change the /etc/fstab any more?

It looks like the distro is resetting it. At a guess I'd say removing the kudzu option might help or if not then make a symlink from /dev/scd0 to /dev/cdrom (a good idea to have in any case as some software assumes/defaults to /dev/cdrom as the cdrom device).
