	To use an Apple CD ROM drive, you need to install the CD ROM init in
	the system folder of the MacOS boot drive; this provides information
	needed by A/UX regarding the devices present on the SCSI.  If this
	file is in the (and) A/UX system folder, it does no good at all, and
	may cause odd behavior (like dropping back to the Login screen).

	I don't know the details of other ("foreign") CD ROM drives, so I
	can't promise what will happen.  You could try it, tho.
