My base personal machine is running FC4; but it was originally built, 3 sets 
of hardware ago, with RH 7.3.  The combination dvd player/cdrecorder has 
always mounted as /media/cdrecorder.  The base server machine is running FC3, 
although the initial deployment was with RH 6.2.  The cdrom drive on that 
machine has been a constant /media/cdrom, since the hardware upgrade that 
obsoleted 6.2.  So maybe I am missing something.
