So you're telling me I should try making sr0 a hard link to scd0?
Does this mean I could just mount the drive as scd0? Since I know
nothing about how device files work, I have no idea what's going
on here.

You should alreadry have scdX for all the scsi cdrom's. Take a look at
the simple script, /dev/MAKEDEV if not.
