DVD playback finally works! =)

Hello everyone,
When I recently switched from Slackware 9.1 to FreeBSD 5.2, one of the
few things that didn't work right away was DVD-playback.
Now it works, I just have to chmod /dev/acd0 to 666 and create a symlink
to /dev/dvd.
Contrary to what I've read so far, DVD playback even works with MPlayer.
=)
Unfortunately, due to devfs, I have to change the permissions for acd0
and create the link (/dev/dvd) every time the system starts up - is
there any way to make these changes permanent?
Kind regards,
Benjamin
