It points to itself? Humm
OK, I think (?) what you have done is removed the old link you had
pointing to your 'old' cdrom and put in a flakely one.

What does ls -l /dev/cdrom show you? Not what you want, I would
guess. That fstab line isn'tc correct either.
Do this. Assumeing you only have 1 CD now, the Ricoh, and it is at
/dev/scd0 ( cdrecord dev 1,0,0), get rig of the scd0 -> scd0 link and
do
ls -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom (symlink cdron to point to scd0)
then a
ls -l /dev/cdrom should show you this
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 14 13:17 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
Now your link is right.
I just added a cdrw drive but kept the cdrom in the box as well. I
decided to use them both under scsi emulation. The cdrom is sdc0 and
the reader is sdc1. My links are
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 14 13:17 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 14 13:17 /dev/cdrw -> /dev/scd1
In fstab they are
/dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /cdrw iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
