Yeah, removing it had no effect.  That was hours ago ;)

Ok, this critter seems to be under control.  The trick that seems to
have done it was deleting the cdrom link, cdroms directory, and other
scsi paraphernalia from the /lib/dev-state directory.  I figured maybe
devfs was dutifully recreating them just like the /dev/hdc I created
with mknod.  When devfs recreated the cdrom* stuff, /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
was a link down into the /dev/ide directory, and the cdrom works again.

Bizarre.  Still doesn't really make sense to me.  If there's anything I
can do to help turn this into a bug fix let me know, but it's probably
pretty old code...
