For me, /dev/hd* has group disk, except for hda and hdc, which are both cdrom (and are where I put a DVD-ROM and a CD-RW. The installer took care of appropriate group assignment for those two devices; I dunno why that didn't happen for you. But at any rate, if hdc is your CDRW, it oughta have a group of cdrom, with that group having users who'd use it as its membership. -c
WHen I install Sarge, /dev/hdc is owned by root:disk. I always have to change it to root:cdrom. And make users who want to use CDRW as members of group 'cdrom'.
Also, at present I am really clear on what /cdrom /cdrom0 actually do. To use CDROM, I had to make a link /cdrom->/dev/cdrom (or was it /dev/cdrom0) and to use my CDRW I had to make a link /cdrw->/dev/hdd
