On my system (originally mdk 8.2 and now 9.0), my burner is id'd as scd0 because of the scsi emulation (i think) (ide=scsi append in lilo.conf) and my cd rom's dev entry (when i had 2 in here) was /dev/hde. /dev/cdrom was a link to /dev/hde under 8.2 I took out the extra cd drive when i installed 9.0 because i had such weirdness having 2 installed with 8.2 (things like rpmdrake asking over and over for me to insert cd 2 into /dev/scd0 even though it was already in there). My current /dev entry for the cd burner is /dev/scd0 and there's an entry in dev for cdrom0 which is
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Dec 31 1969 cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd (same entry is listed for scd0) lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Feb 9 22:05 scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd might want to check that on yours ;) HTH Jerry.
