cdrecord -scanbus should show you both cd drives, if they were both
done with ide-scsi.
I suggest you read the cdrecord docs. I use ide-scsi and my cdrw
(/dev/hdc) is at /dev/scd1 and after RTFM, I simlinked cdrw to scd1,
and cdrom (/dev/hdb) to to scd0. Thay way you can mount either/both
devices. If your wondering why the cdrom is on hdb and the burner on
hdc, the docs will tell you why.
