Mounting CD-ROM via a link

New to 5.1B, so maybe this is a rudimentary question.

We've got an in-house app here that looks to /dev/cdrom for access to some
data on CD. Under Tru64 4.0F, we made a symlink from /dev/rzXc to
/dev/cdrom ; we could then access the CD data via that link.

I can't seem to fake that kind of functionality in 5.1B PK3.

I've tried linking /dev/disk/cdrom0c, /devices/disk/cdrom0c, and
/cluster/member/member0/dev/disk/cdrom0c but to no avail. Has anyone tried
this? Is there something basic I'm missing?


# pwd
/cluster/members/member0/dev

# ls -alg cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 17 Jan 12 11:49 cdrom ->
/dev/disk/cdrom0c

# mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Error: /dev/cdrom is an invalid device or cannot be opened.

#mount /dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom
#

Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
