The CD RW seems to be faked out to be a SCSI device even though
it's really an IDE device. Try linking cdrom -> scd0 and read the tutorial
on the mandrake site for CD RW it sort of talks about this. Mine used
to think it should be hdd and wouldn't do anything but after switching
to scd0, everything works now, my cd player, gtoaster, etc.
