What is the output of
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom
That should tell you what the CD device is to help narrow things down.

The output of that command scrolls across the screen and is gone in less
than 1 second.
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom > cdrom-info
than you can see details in file cdrom-info, or
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom | grep Device
although relevant information should be on the screen as it is listed last.
When I do either of these commands, the result is "No such file or directory."
I'm running 9.3. Should I be in root?
I don't understand.
A moment ago you said that you got so much output that it scrolls out of
the window, now you say you get "no such command".
I don't understand, unless you are typing incorrectly.
If you enter "hwinfo" - and of course that you have to use it as root! -
you should get a lot of output. And you should already know, as an old
linux user, that in those cases you have to "pipe" the output. There are
many ways:
hwinfo | more
hwinfo | less
hwinfo > any_file_name
hwinfo ... and go back up the screen using the terminal
scroll bar or [Shift][PgUp]
And remember that "|" is not "one" nor "L", but the pipe symbol. Or simply
read the help for "hwinfo" and learn how to "log" the output.
