Bug#336869: don't call DVD writers "ROM"



Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7
Version: 2.6.12-10
Severity: wishlist

One purchases a DVD writer, but it is still called a DVD reader here:
$ dmesg | grep -i dvd
hdc: PHILIPS DVDR1648P1, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 126X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)

lshw below proves that the Philips is a writer, but above one sees that all it
is is a ROM.
