Re: /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw both point to the writer

Had the same problem, etch only found the external USB CDROM drive that it had
been installed with. So I made 2 entries in /etc/fstab
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sr0 /cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom2 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
So I made 2 entries in /etc/fstab The last two. The first were created by the
installer. The second two were created by me.
Might have to reboot to get them recognised.
Hope that helps.
