token, your cdrom prob is likely a missing symlink. /dev/cdrom is just a link to the actual cdrom device, perhaps /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd, depending on how your system is configured. you might check your 'dmesg' output (run from a command prompt), or the system logs (usually /var/log/messages and /or /var/log/syslog) to find what linux is seeing. my cdrom detects like so

so /dev/hdc is my cdrom. then you can create a new link in /dev to your /device, like so:
root# rm /dev/cdrom
root# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
after that, hopefully your cdrom (and q3) should work without a hitch (or this particular hitch).
good luck
