We won't be able to help you decide if you're mad or not. You'll need another forum for that. We can probably deal with that cd problem though....
HP-UX has a cdfs built into the kernel and you probably did a
mount -F cdfs /dev/cdrom /cdrom
or something very equivalent. There is another way to mount cdroms and you will need to try that. It's the Portable File System code that comes bundled with HP-UX. You can do a "man -k pfs" to get a list of man pages.
But here is what I do basicly....
1. I do a "ln -s /dev/dsk/c6t2d0 /dev/cdrom" or whatever so I can just use /dev/cdrom. This makes stuff easier which ever way you go.
2. And of course I do "mkdir /cdrom" so that I have a mount point with a sensible name.
3. Next I create a file. /etc/pfs_mtab with a single line....
/dev/cdrom /cdrom pfs-iso9660 ro,suid 0 0
4. I start the pfs mount daemon:
pfs_mountd &
5. I start the other daemons. I go with 2. 1 may do, but 2 works...
pfsd 2 &
6. Wait about 30 seconds for everything to connect
7. pfs_mount /cdrom
I think that I got that right. It's been a while.... Anyway...it's close. Good luck.

sdl_cdopen
SDL_CDOpen(3) SDL API Reference SDL_CDOpen(3)
NAME
SDL_CDOpen - Opens a CD-ROM drive for access.
SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL.h"
SDL_CD *SDL_CDOpen(int drive);
DESCRIPTION
Opens a CD-ROM drive for access. It returns a SDL_CD structure on success, or NULL if the drive was invalid or busy. This newly opened CD-
ROM becomes the default CD used when other CD functions are passed a NULL CD-ROM handle.
Drives are numbered starting with 0. Drive 0 is the system default CD-ROM.
EXAMPLES
SDL_CD *cdrom;
int cur_track;
int min, sec, frame;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM);
atexit(SDL_Quit);
/* Check for CD drives */
if(!SDL_CDNumDrives()){
/* None found */
fprintf(stderr, "No CDROM devices available
");
exit(-1);
}
/* Open the default drive */
cdrom=SDL_CDOpen(0);
/* Did if open? Check if cdrom is NULL */
if(!cdrom){
fprintf(stderr, "Couldn't open drive: %s
", SDL_GetError());
exit(-1);
}
/* Print Volume info */
printf("Name: %s
", SDL_CDName(0));
printf("Tracks: %d
", cdrom->numtracks);
for(cur_track=0;cur_track < cdrom->numtracks; cur_track++){
FRAMES_TO_MSF(cdrom->track[cur_track].length, &min, &sec, &frame);
printf(" Track %d: Length %d:%d
", cur_track, min, sec);
}
SDL_CDClose(cdrom);
