Matt,
I think the /dev entry you want is /dev/sonycd I have the same kind of
drive, and I didn't need to create the device. Off the wall wild guess, I
think the major number was 15. I can't be sure right now since my Debian
machine is down with a dead power supply, but that is my vague memory...
Since you probably only have one, the minor should be 0
Anyway check out http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO-4.html, it
has a section on the cdu31a.
Hope this helps.
