Though I'd guess it'd be the other way round. With both on ide-scsi and set to automount in /etc/fstab, /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrw to /dev/scd1; I boot with both empty, cdrom is emulated scsi device 0:0:0 and cdrw 0:1:0. I boot with cdrom empty and a readable CD in cdrw, cdrw comes up as 0:0:0, cdrom as 0:1:0. Result: /dev/cdrom ends up pointing to my CDRW.
