the way we solve this is that we create symlinks for them on boot up.
basically, if you create a symlink, when the machine goes down (nicely),
it records where your symlinks are in a file called device_catalog and
then recreates them when you boot back up.

not very elegant, but it works.  this should be in the rpms when we
include them on the iso..
