I'm glad that I saved the symlink to /dev/cdwriter then. It was linked 
to /dev/sd0 - I guessed that it was made by some program for writing. I 
left it alone.

I can't understand how my cdrw gets identified by /dev/hdd, through 
kudzu though. The output to kdzu claims my device as the below device. 
If I remove kudzu from my /etc/fstab file, a new entry will appear with 
a new symlink when the computer is rebooted.

Anyway, I added /dev/cdrom1 (symlinked to /dev/scd0) and left the other 
entry /dev/cdrom2 (symlinked to /dev/hdd) alone.

Whenever I insert a disc into the drive, it is opened as /dev/cdrom1. I 
plan on inserting a blank CDR into the drive and see what happens later.

confused, but happy it works now.
