I've got only one drive in my machine. I noticed that mounting a DVD 
by using "$ mount /cdrom"  works fine. No need for a specific DVD 
mount point.

After all, both /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd point to /dev/hdc without any 
difference in their fstab entries, so why not? Same thing 
with /dev/cdaudio.

Just another shortcut for people interested in simplifying life.
