        I am having a similar problem with my CD-ROM and CD-RW drives. With
previous Linux distributions, they have always been /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.
I'd use hdd=ide-scsi with grub/lilo and everything would work fine. Now,
with a new Gentoo installation, /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd don't exist. I don't
recall whether there was a /dev/sg0 or something to deal with the cd-rw
drive. 
So..

1. How do I make the /dev/hdc & /dev/hdd devices and how do they get pointed
to the devices?

2. Do I need a /dev/sg0? If so, should I just symlink to /dev/hdd or make
the /dev/sg0 and symlink /dev/hdd to it or should I just do the /dev/sg0 and
forget about the /dev/hdd. If that is the case, do I put sg0=ide-scsi in my
grub.conf?
