They are symlinks. do 'ls -l /dev/cdrom'. They were manually created on the install or similar. Since they are simlinks, they can be DELETED. At which point, you can create the simlinks YOU want. if you look in /var/log/dmesg and/or /var/log/messages, you will find a refernce to /dev/hda, /dev/hdb,... /dev/sr0, these represent the REAL ide or scsi devices. You simlink THESE to /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd ,etc. so here is the idea: if /dev/hdc is a cdrom and /dev/hdd is a dvd rm /dev/cdrom rm /dev/dvd ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/hdh /dev/dvd -Kev ps. ALSO create entries in you fstab if you want to make mounting either automatic or just easier.
