Thanks, Rich. I already fixed it.  I thought it must be something
exotic, but I decided that maybe I just deleted /dev/cdrom somehow.
So I remade the link and everything works. I guess the ide-scsi part
makes me a little nervous. I'm not sure whether hdc is ide or scsi, or
whether hdc is the same as scd0 which may be the same as sda1.  Anyhoo,
it works.
