Right about your assumption. I've changed my SCSI CD to mount at /cdrom
and a couple of harddrives to mount at /hd and /hd2. That way I don't
have to kepp typing the /mnt part.
So, mine is like this
/dev/sda1 /hd etc...etc...etc...
/dev/sdb1 /hd2 etc...etc...etc...
/dev/scd0 /cdrom etc...etc...etc...
/dev/sdc1 /zip etc...etc...etc...
No symlinks involved in this at all.
