I hope you didn't lose any data.

Assuming /dev/hdb is still there, and you've just deleted the /dev/cdrom
symbolic link to it, all you need to do is:

 ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom

Assuming /dev/hdb itself has vanished, you'll need to do:

 mknod /dev/hdb b 3 64

Of course, if neither of them are there, use some combination of the
above.
