I don't know about "booting" into root but you can always "sudo passwd root", change root's password to whatever you want, then "su root", type in the password, and have a root shell.
But that still doesn't let me play audio cd's from /dev/hdb using xmms. Adding the block device to the playlist just plain doesn't work. Guess I ought to try the "toram" option and see if /cdrom2 gets created... but don't understand why it should be necessary...

May be obvious,but .....
Has the correct device been set in xmms?
When you Ctrl + v for vis.plugins,and go to audio I/O plugins,
and select CD Audio Player 1.28? and hit the configure button,
you can set the device and directory and check the drive.
You will still need to start xmms suid root to access the drive,
and you've probably done the above anyway,but it's just a suggestion.

raker,

thanks for the info. I, personally, didn't know it was all at ctrl+v. It's good info for the future!

My cdrom device was on the list and drive checks fine running as root. Unfortunately, I still can't put in an audio CD and play it under the normal "user"  login.

Apart from opening root terminal,
and typing xmms /dev/cdromwhatever,
you could install wmcdplay,and put it in
your menu using sudo in the command
line.It too needs root permissions to access
drives.I haven't put wmcdplay in the menu
yet,I just open a root terminal and type
in the command, it's not that often I play
CDs.

Try this as root:
chmod +rx /dev/cdrom

As it stands right now it will work in toram mode and a frugal install, but after the HD install it is a permission problem.  I'll note it as a bug and get it fixed for the next release.  Meanwhile the chmod command should do the trick.
