drive names?

What would my secondary CD-ROM be called? My primary is called /dev/cdrom, but I don't see a /dev/cdrom1 anywhere. I know I'll probably have to add something to my /etc/fstab to get it working, but I don't know what it's called. Help? Thanks in advance.

it "SHOULD" be called /dev/cdrom1 there is a very off chance it could be called hdd or hdc but more likely, cdrom1.

it IS called /dev/hdd. My /dev/cdrom is actually /dev/hdc, so I guess there's some kind of link from /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc. I guess my next question is how to create a /dev/cdrom1 which links to /dev/hdd? Thanks for your help.

If your using the devfs it should create them automatically. You may need to add entries for the secondary cdroms in your /etc/devfsd.conf, or like mine the entries may already be there, just commented out. Take a look at that file and see if you can get it working.

Or if that fails you can just try:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1

I'm not sure if Slackware uses /etc/fstab or not, but if it does and you want the users to be able to mount your cdrom1 device you'll need an entry something like this in /etc/fstab.

/dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
