Uhm..not sure to understand what you mean. The fstab file is "static", and 
thus reports the entry for /dev/scd each time the machine boots. What happens 
is that the device disappears......I guess it is a problem with the hardware 
recognition, but I'm sure the cdrom is working fine (each time I boot in 
Windows I can see it, and each time I can see it in linux it works fine, both 
in read/write).

Any idea?

Thanks,
Luca
