It should definitely be a single line.  And you will want to either
reboot or run udevstart afterwards.   After this, does /dev/dvd exist?
(ls -l /dev/dvd).

Actually, that would be bad.  Vixie-cron is a process scheduler, not a
system logger, although it also creates log files in /var/log.

The system loggers available in portage are:

app-admin/sdsc-syslog
app-admin/syslog-ng
app-admin/sysklogd
app-admin/socklog
app-admin/metalog

If you don't have one of the above installed, then syslog-ng is as good as any.

To find out where your messages are going, try:

grep -r "Kernel command line" /var/log/*
