if you have a cdrom and a dvd-rom /dev/cdrom probably points to
your cdrom.
if your DVD and CDROMs are both IDE I'd do:
dmesg | grep ^hd
and see which devices are which ..then mount them directly, or
make another link..e.g. if cdrom is /dev/hdc:
cd /dev ; rm cdrom ; ln -s hdc cdrom
and if dvdrom is hdd:
cd /dev ; ln -s hdd dvdrom
then mount the dvd using /dev/dvdrom ..
