Do you have a /dev/dvd? Most likely not. You have to make a symlink from your /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (or cdrom1, whichever is your DVD) to /dev/dvd like so:
| Code: | | ln -s /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /dev/dvd |

[edit]This is obviously much more complicated that just making a symlink, but I prefer to have devfsd do things for me.[/edit]
Alternatively, if you're using devfs, you can modify your /etc/devfsd.conf file to automatically point the symlink to /dev/dvd. Or you can always just tell Ogle to look somewhere else (I assume, never used it).
In the case of devfs, an example:
| Code: | # Create /dev/cdrom for the first cdrom drive
#LOOKUP ^cdrom$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
#REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
#UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom
# Create /dev/dvd for the second cdrom drive
# (change 'cdroms/cdrom1' to suite your setup)
# NOTE: We add the fully qualified path here, else some apps
# have problems to resolve the true device (drip comes to mind)
LOOKUP ^dvd$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${mntpnt}/cdroms/cdrom0 dvd
REGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${devpath} dvd
UNREGISTER ^cdroms/cdrom0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd |
Comment the lines for the lookup of ^cdrom$. Uncomment (and modify, if necessary) the lookup lines for ^dvd$. The above assumes that your DVD drive is your first IDE cd-rom. In my case, my burner is the master to my slave dvd, but the dvd drive still appears as cdrom0 because I am using SCSI emulation for the burner (cdrom1).
