Can you get at "normal" Macintosh CD-ROMs?  Executor looks for
/dev/cdrom and needs to be able to read that file in order to detect a
Mac formatted CD-ROM.

Here's how /dev/cdrom is set up on my system:

beaut 4.22 ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            8 Feb 24 00:42 /dev/cdrom ->
/dev/sr0
beaut 4.23 ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-r--r--   1 root     bin       11,   0 Nov 30  1993 /dev/sr0
beaut 4.24 

Hope this helps.
