It appears that your hard-drive is
in spot 'hda'.....I'm guessing that your DVD drive is the IDE2 master?  If
so, that would make it /dev/hdc

You can confirm this by
running:    dmesg | grep hd

it should spit out something
like

.....
hda: WDC WD800BB-00JHA0, ATA DISK drive
hdc: 48X16, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
    ide2: BM-DMA at
0xdf90-0xdf97, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio     ide3: BM-DMA at
0xdf98-0xdf9f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
........


then you can run something like:   mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom

or mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder  (if the DVD drive is a
burner)

hope that helps - dave
