In the last week or so my /dev/cdrom link got pointed to /dev/hdc, which
would be for a third hard drive!  (I should be so lucky.)  Not only do I
not know how this happened, I can live with that, but I can't figure out
which true device to point it to.  Until then it's on the fritz.

I'm running Red Hat 4.2 and my CD is not SCSI.  Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
Lewis Brown
