If you have an IDE CDROM, watch out for BIOS messages during boot time and see if the CD is installed as Primary/Secondary Master/Slave. These are the device names to use:
Primary Master: /dev/hda (Very unlikey; it should be your Hard disk) Primary Slave: /dev/hdb Secondary Master: /dev/hdc Secondary Slave: /dev/hdd If you have SCSI, I have no clue.
