No. In fact, it should be commented out if /dev/cdrom is a symbolic link
to /dev/sr0.

If you comment out the line in molrc.osx, does the colored stripes
disappear?

I'm working on preventing the CD from beeing accessed both as
a generic SCSI device and as a block device. However, it is not
possible to boot from generic SCSI devices yet...
