The master drive on the primary IDE conĀ troller (major device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb. The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and the slave hdd. So if he has two IDE hard drives on his primary controller and an IDE CD-ROM on his second controller (as my home machine does), his first HD will be /dev/hda, his second will be /dev/hdb, and his CD-ROM will be /dev/hdc. I don't see a problem with having read-write access to a read-only device.... :-)
actually, it's far more common to see the cdrom on /dev/hdd Thanks, Ron DuFresne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.
