CD-RW is detected as CDROM


CD-RW is detected as CDROM does anyone know how to fix this? my normal CDROM is detected at boot time and I can mount cds on it, my CD-RW is the master seconadary and my CDROM is the slave but for some reasom in my fstab it only lists my CD-RW but as my CDROM.


My CD-RW is on /dev/hdc
My CDROM is on /dev/hdd

now how can I switch the CDROM device so it matches my CDROM and not my CD-RW and how can I make a CD-R device and my CD-RW has a mount point of its own? here is my fstab

dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
