Hi Chuck: If you still have the original kernel, you should be able to check the dmesg to see what device it thinks the sbpc cdrom is on during boot. I don't know what the major/minor numbers should be off hand but you should be able to find them in the device.txt and/or the cdrom subdirectory of /usr/src/linux/Documentation. Once you know what they are once again and have your original kernel installed once more you can do a mknod to recreat the nodes in /dev. Do a man on mknod to check my memory but I think it's something like: mknod /dev/device_name type major minor Where type is character (c) or block (b) and major and minor are the devices major and minor numbers.
