Thanks for responding Daniel:
Following your lead below is what I found:

[root@arakus dev]# ls -l dvd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            5 Aug 11 13:48 dvd -> cdrom
[root@arakus dev]# ls -l cdrom
ls: cdrom: No such file or directory
[root@arakus dev]#

Although fstab is properly written the links are not and cdrom itself,
as a link, doesn't go anywhere.  I was going to write a new link but I
realized that I didn't know how to point the link back to the actual
hardware.  So how does one proceed from here?
