I mistakenly removed a device, cdrom , from my /dev directory while attempting to remove a soft link. I need to replace cdrom.
but /dev/cdrom is just a symlink to the actual device... you just need to find out which device it was pointing to... probably /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc (depends on how many HDs you got...)
as soon as you're sure about the device, just create a symlink /dev/cdrom to it...
Johannes, OK.... Did as you suggested and I have the cdrom back by making the link "ln /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom" Good.. Thank You so much for that. I now have that back and can access it......But, when I did the rm I did a "rm /dev/cdrom /dev/scd1" which also removed scd1. Now, since scd1 is not an actual physical piece of hardware, how do I restore scd1??? Bob S.
