That's because an IDE cdrom will be automagically recognized
as /dev/hdX, where X = a for primary master, b for primary slave etc.
(ide driver is compiled into the kernel). If you have a scsi cdrom,
you'll need to load the driver (module) for your scsi card.
If you have a really old cdrom plugged into the sound card, you'll
need a custom kernel with appropriate driver.

Have a look in /proc/ide, lots of interesting stuff in there.
