OK, the ISO is from the link you sent to the wolverine-list for 7.1 -
RH7.1-SGI-XFS-0.10.3.iso. I have one ide hd, and an ide cd.
The lines are already in devfsd.conf.
modprobe ide-cd fails with a lot of unresolved symbol errors. in ide-cd.o,
and also complains taht /etc/modules.conf is more recent than
/lib/modules/2.4.2-SGI_XFS_0.10.3/modules.dep
I'll try recompiling the kernel with the ide-cd compiled in, but any other
ideas?

Ok. For starters, what was the name of the ISO you installed from?
This should be fixed in the latest version (-"test2" I think).

"modprobe ide-cd" should fix this for you, but I thought that devfsd
should auto-load the ide-cd module for you...

Do you have more than one hard drive?

Otherwise, add these lines to the bottom of your devfsd.conf file, and
see if it works some magic for you.
# Handle /dev/mouse...
# This assumes that something else (initscripts) will load mouse modules
# If input/mice gets registered, link /dev/mouse to it:
REGISTER input/mice EXECUTE /bin/ln -sf input/mice mouse
# Lkewise for misc/psaux:
REGISTER misc/psaux EXECUTE /bin/ln -sf misc/psaux mouse
# If we unregister the usb mouse, then we probably want /dev/mouse to be
psaux
UNREGISTER input/mice EXECUTE /bin/ln -sf misc/psaux mouse
# ...and /dev/cdrom
# In case no cdrom modules loaded, point link over to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
LOOKUP cdrom EXECUTE /bin/ln -sf cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
# Similarly, if the module loaded, create the /dev/cdrom link
REGISTER cdroms/cdrom0 EXECUTE /bin/ln -sf cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
# Remove link when cdrom modules are unloaded
UNREGISTER cdroms/cdrom0 EXECUTE /bin/rm -f cdrom
