Done.

In my case the drives are there and working, but the /dev/ names are
more old style.

mark@lightning ~ $ ls /dev/cdr
cdrom   cdrom1  cdrw    cdrw1
mark@lightning ~ $ ls /dev/cdrom
/dev/cdrom
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Sep 27 00:52 /dev/cdrom -> hda
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /dev/cdrom1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Sep 27 00:52 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdb
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /dev/cdrw
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Sep 27 00:52 /dev/cdrw -> hda
mark@lightning ~ $ ls -al /dev/cdrw1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Sep 27 00:52 /dev/cdrw1 -> hdb
mark@lightning ~ $

Everything is working except I'd have to change fstab to make it easy.
Thought I'd ask if there was a known change about udev naming that I
hadn't heard about.

Thanks,
Mark
