Totally confused again. Can you do a step by step please???? I did change sr0 to point to cdrom1 and when I try to mount or open a data disc I get : Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: Too many levels of symbolic links

root@0[/]# ls -la /dev/cdrom1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Sep 3 12:28 /dev/cdrom1 -> sr0

Like I said... confused. Now I'm not sure what's pointing where.

Oh yeah, under the gun. Got a mental picture of that. Pretty bad.
