I bet devfs is mounted - which will mean devices not being present unless
the driver is in the kernel. Also the ide-cdrom is probably a module in 
this kernel. Try doing a modprobe ide-cd. Your cdrom will show up as
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 (or something like that).

I was going to say you should upgrade to the latest RPMS, however, if you
are using images from this directory 

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/PreRelease-0.9

you are already doing so (the test-5 confused me). 

If you rebuild the kernel without devfs then things will go back to
how you expect them to be - I would also build into the kernel all
the components you use regularly - ide/scsi drivers, xfs, iso9660
etc and do away with the initial ramdisk. It will boot much faster.
