I can confirm that even after removal of the CDROM line from my fstab, I still get a shortcut on my desktop to "CD-ROM Disc", whether there is a CD-ROM in the tray or not. CDs are still unreadable though, when I double-click the CD-ROM Disc icon I am taken to the burning screen, and it's not a blank disc.
