Modified ebuild that works for me

I have UT2204 on DVD, not sure which version, but all the data files are stored on the disk as separate UNCOMPRESSED cdroms

The root directory consists of:
AutoRun.inf
CD2/
CD4/
CD6/
Setup.exe
CD1/
CD3/
CD5/
linux-installer.sh

The ebuild fails with the message 
'unable to locate CD #1 root at /mnt/Genshare/Disk_Images/ut2004/ut2004'

I have managed to fix it by amending and digesting the ebuild: problem was caused by the (2) lines

cdrom_load_next_cd

(Would appear that they are not needed as all the cd's are in the one place so I deleted them)

Don't know how this would affect other DVD's but thought I'd share the knowledge for someone to insert into the next ebuild release?

Works with ROOT_DISK set to location where I have made a backup , and with the DVD in a drive.

Can confirm the workaround fixes the problem of CD detection, just tested it.
