It should be:

 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdb

(not with a number). In my case it's hdc, but try it out and see which one
works for you. You can check the dmesg (just type 'dsmesg'). For me, there
are a few lines like this:

hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL EL5.1A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: CRD-8322B, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL EL5.1A, 4892MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=623/255/63
hdc: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
