It seems that discover is the problem (see bug #296856 in bugs.debian.org). In 
'/etc/discover.conf' I found the lines:

  # Scan for the following types of hardware at boot time:
  #boot bridge cdrom disk ethernet ide scsi sound usb video
  boot all

I changed this to

  # Scan for the following types of hardware at boot time:
  boot bridge disk ethernet ide scsi sound usb video
  #boot all

(do not use 'all' but the list and removed 'cdrom')

Maybe this avoid that '/media/cdrom0' is removed. I will tell after my next 
reboot.

i tried the suggestion, but it does not help. still no /media/cdrom0 
or /media/cdrom1

i agree that that file does look like a typo though. 

sigh. i wish i could help fix this obvious bug. 
if i make /media/cdrom0 and 1 they disappear on reboot.

I wish i knew where my mount points go on the reboot.
