You are 100% right!
As soon as I changed this setting by running
dpkg-reconfigure discover1
I was able to create a directory /media/cdrom1 and /media/cdrom0 without it
going away on reboot.
I should point out a typo in that web-page posting though.
if you run dpkg-reconfigure on discover1 it does not mention /media/cdrom0. It
talks about
/dev/cdrom1 instead. Thats why i never tried the other setting :).
this must be a typo as well.
thank you!
