I suspect your /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd symlinks aren't being
established properly.  My CD drive is /dev/hdc and my DVD drive is
/dev/hdd.  So I end up doing something like
cdplay -d /dev/hdc
to play a CD, and that works.  I could establish my symlinks
manually:
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
I'm a bit leary of doing that, since /dev is automatically
constructed by udev, I think.

I bet udev or a boot script is supposed to be adding the /dev/cdrom
symlinks, but it isn't.  At least the above is true for my machine.
