When you moved your cd-rw drive to the master position I think the
device name changed. I'm thinking the ide-cd driver found it and it's
probably linked to /dev/cdrom whereas before it was on a scsi device
and linked to /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/cdrecorder or the like. Check
/var/log/dmesg to see what device it is and then check in /dev for the
links to make sure they're lined up right.
