Hello,
there's a cosmetic issue on the CD: the /dev/cdrom symlink always points
to the last CD-ROM, not necessarily to the LFS Live CD. E.g., here it
points to /dev/hdd, even if I boot from /dev/hdb. Possible solutions:
Do we really want /dev/cdrom to point to our LFS cd? I would imagine
that if you had a system with 2 cdrom drives, you would want the other
one to be available for your use (maybe you keep some BLFS packages on a
cd, who knows...) and since the cdrom you booted from is tied up, with
all its contents available in the / tree, what would be the point in
accessing it via /dev/cdrom?
1) Ignore this and do nothing.
2) Disable the CD-ROM udev rule, optionally create the symlink from
within initramfs.
3) Rewrite the CD-ROM udev rule to use the cdsymlinks.sh script,
optionally create the /dev/lfs-cd symlink from initramfs.
I would say that if there's a need to have a descriptive symlink, then
your /dev/lfs-cd idea is better. Create that symlink first, and then
point the /dev/cdrom link to the next cd device it finds. Or something
like that. Or just ignore it all and do nothing. :)
Just my take on it.
