nothing by that name. I looked for devices with the expected 
major and nothing was there either. I also listed all the 
names and nothing looked likely.

So I went to google. It turns out I wasn't loading cdrom.ko 
and ide-cd.ko and they make the device and a link from 
cdrom->hdc. duh.

I thought that everything in /dev/ came from some new magic.

Thanks Joe
