cdrom drive not working

[Luke Davis]

/dev/cdrom, is usually a link to /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc..
What is the device ID of your hard drive, and how many hard drives do you 
have?

The first IDE drive, on controller 0, (the primary), should be: /dev/hda.
The secondary should be: /dev/hdb.
The primary on the second controller (controller 1), should be: hdc.
and so on.

In fact, maybe you could send us a copy of /etc/fstab.
