Presumably under Mandrake 10.1 that action is performed by udevd scripts;
in Debian and Ubuntu, /etc/udev/rules.d/cd-aliases.rules contains the
shell script (well, the symlink to a shell script in the parent
directory) that creates the correct /dev/dvd symlink.  Try looking in the
corresponding Mdk10.1 directory.
