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.
