Is there a template or guideline to follow in debian for making init scripts?
debian has a package called 'debian-policy' which provides useful

and such, so i recommend installing that.

If you can do that, then I think your dvd drive is using ide-cd module.
Please, make sure your /etc/modules.conf contain line like
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
In this case, ide-cd won't probe any drives on /dev/hdc
whyle trying this, i could no longer mount the drive as hdc
i bet that this works ( assuming the kernel has been told by grub/lilo
the hdc=ide-scsi option )
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
and if it does ... make a link
cd /dev ; ln -s ./hdc cdrom ( for reading cd's )
cd /dev ; ln -s ./hdc cdrw ( for writing )

hi ya loonyx
if your dvd writer is on /dev/hdc
try using /dev/hdc instead of /dev/scd0
if it works .. link /dev/sg0 to /dev/hdc and fix fstab
also stick a boot (real) cdrom into the dvd drive, and see if it boots the
cdrom to eliminate any hardware/bios/cable issues
