what does /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvdrw point to ??

what is the lilo/grub bootup options for hdc, hdd

a dvd is NOT the same "config options" as a cdrom
	- its NOT 100% interchangeable ... you need to reset the 
	kernel boot options accordingly
	- also depends if your just reading vs attempting writes 
	to cd vs dvd

	- and more fun to try to put a hd where a cdrom or dvd used to be
