Solution to the CD player problem



I asked before how to get the CD player to play the first, rather than
the second CD drive.  It turned out to be quite simple.  There are three
cd devices in the /dev directory.  Each is actually only a symbolic
link.  The links were assigned as follows:

/dev/cdrom -> /dev/cdrom0
/dev/cdrom0 -> /dev/hdd
/dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/hdc

That is, the device /dev/cdrom was pointing to the fourth "hard disk,"
not the third.  We simply changed the first alias to:

/dev/cdrom -> /dev/cdrom1  (-> /dev/hdc).

Now we have nice music while we hack away.
