how do i figure out what /dev and /mnt points my cdroms devices are. during kernel booting i believe it detects them @ /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc. is there anyway i can verify this? thanks.

You could type dmesg|more, this will list the boot sequence, just scroll down till you see the entries for you drives.

Also depends where you drives are attached.
Primary master = hda
Primary Slave = hdb
Secondary master = hdc
Secondary Slave = hdd

You could have a look in fstab, it might have the entries in there, but most likley it would just be /dev/cdrom
