Public bug reported:

After upgrade to Hardy Beta, the /etc/fstab entry for /media/cdrom
becomes incorrect and points to a null device (/dev/hda).  This forces a
new name under /media instead of mounting the unified location (i.e.
/media/cdrom(0)).

Expected:  Device to mount and the wine software to recognize the dvd
burner as before.

Occured:  Device mounted to a new name in the /media directory.

Steps to repeat:  None (resolved issue independently).

I alleviated this by doing a file check for the /dev/hda entry:

ls /dev/hd*
ls: cannot access /dev/hd: No such file or directory

Then checked for where it was truly mounted:

mount
/dev/scd0 on /media/<disc volume> type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=blahblah)

Modified the fstab to read:
/dev/scd0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0       0

This resolved the issue for me without a reboot.
