No, but here's an /etc/fstab line that I use for a CDRW/DVD

/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

Then, because devfs is running, I have made the links

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom

for audio playback, and

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd

for Xine and fellows.

It works nicely...
