Probably a linux standard base or FHS thing. Seems to remember reading
somewhere that if you had multiple cdrom devices, you would get multiple
cdrom?.

Both actually. That rules says for each ide device, check the
/proc/ide/<device name>/media. If it's a cdrom, create the node with
those permissions. %k will be hdc for hdc, and hdd for hdd.
You want to look for the symlink rule that set up the
/dev/cdrom->/dev/cdrom0->/dev/hdc. If there are no udev rules that set
up the symlink, check one of the scripts in /etc/init.d and see if it's
done there.
