I don't think it has to be changed. You may want to 

ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/dvd

so that DVD-specific applications, which often look
for DVDs at /dev/dvd, see DVDs using default
settings. But I don't think there's anything you have
to do. DVD drives are basically CD drives that can 
read DVDs. 

What exactly can't you do?
