[ale] cd drives, or going nutz the Linux way!

[Jonathan Glass (IBB)]

/dev/sda1-x?  Those are partitions on a SCSI harddrive.   sd(a-d)
represents the different harddrives.  If it is a SCSI (or scsi-emulated)
CDROM, it will show up as /dev/scd[0-9].

Do a "dmesg | grep /dev/scd" and see what results.
