A block device is generally a physical storage device, such as a hard drive of CD-ROM drive. Assuming your system is based on IDE storage, your CD drive will be /dev/hdX where X=the IDE device number. The naming convention is simple once you get the hang of it: Primary Master=hda; Primary Slave=hdb; Secondary Master=hdc; Primary Slave=hdd.
