How does the system decide what the "primary device" and the "secondary
device" are supposed to be?  It seems to me that, to the system, DVD
drives look very much like CD drives: There's /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1,
for example.  Either of the two can be a CD or a DVD drive, IIRC.

Unlike hard disks, these devices aren't detected by UUID, are they?


Perhaps the OP can figure out which devices he has, which is which, make
appropriate entries in /etc/fstab and hope that the order of devices
doesn't change?
