yes it is run at boot, the echo'd udev msg is displayed and I have not
altered the rc in anyway.

Been reading up a bit on on udev and rules, I see it says it'll stop
processing rules for devices when the first rule is applied, ignoring any
subsequent rules for said devices. When I check the default udev.rules it
has rulues with apply to the device in question, my rom drives, which are
hda and hdb. Here is th first rule that applies;

# all block devices
SUBSYSTEM="block", GROUP="disk"

here is the second;
# permissions for IDE CD devices
BUS="ide", KERNEL="*[!0-9]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media",RESULT="cdrom*", NAME="%k", GROUP="cdrom", MODE="0660"


Thought i was onto something until I remembered the rules get applied if i run udevstart after boot.
