low level: You're creating the link on a tmpfs. This is by definition
gone by a reboot.

high level: You're not using udev's means to create (symbolic) links
for devices, which you should. Add a rule that does this for you...
BTW: Why isn't gentoo creating this link automatically for
you? usually 50-udev.rules cares for that by
calling /lib/udev/cdrom_id. If that program doesn't recognize your DVD
drive, you might certainly file a bug...
