    I have a dell precision with ATA DVD and CDRW drives. dmesg reports as
    below:

    --------------------------------

    The problem is /dev/cdrom controls the dvd drive. I don't know what
    device note the cdrw was given. How do I found out? Also, then how do
    I make /dev/dvdrom map to the dvd player?

    I noticed this when attempting to use kscd to play a music cd.. kcsd
    is looking at /dev/cdrom.
