[1.] One line summary of the problem:

        bad device file for cdrom while using devfs and ide-scsi

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

        I use Kernle-2.4.20 with devfs and ide-scsi.
        "devfs" is mounted at boot.

        I wonder that the symbolic-link to actual device file of cdrom is not
        correct, which is placed in /dev as

                "cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd"

        It should be placed in subdirectory /dev/cdroms, or it should be
        linked to "scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd", I think.

        Without ide-scsi, there is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 which is correctry
        linked to actual device file.

        I was looking around the kernel source codes, but I cannot find
        where it was.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

        kernel
        file system
        dev fs
        ide scsi
        device file
        cdrom

[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

        Linux version 2.4.20 (root@athlon) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release))
        #6 SMP 木 1月 16 09:36:55 JST 2003

[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
     resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

        nothing

[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
     problem (if possible)

        nothing
