   Notice that the "/dev" directory is volatile, anything you create there   
   has to be created again on every boot.   
      
   You could use "/etc/init.d/boot.local" to create it.   
      
   The file that creates it (in Leap) is   
   "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules":   
      
   ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.5-scsi-1:0:0:0",   
   SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1"   
      
   My file, dated 2010, says:   
      
   # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_cd_rules   
   # program, probably run by the cd-aliases-generator.rules rules file.   
   #   
   # You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line   
   # and set the $GENERATED variable.   
      
   However, there is no "/lib/udev/write_cd_rules" file in my system; not   
   very surprising seeing how old is 70-persistent-cd.rules.
