You can make a link for the second drive fairly easy. The main thing you
need to know is where the drives are connected. An easy way to check is
to see where /dev/cdrom is linked to. Try this:
ls -l /dev/cdrom
It should return something like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 21 18:25 /dev/cdrom ->
/dev/hdc
The last part is the importand part. If it is /dev/hdc, then your second
CD is /dev/hdd. If it is /dev/hda, then the second is /dev/hdb. Now if
it is /dev/hdb or /dev/hdd, then the other drive is /dev/hda or /dev/hdc.
If it is /dev/hdc, and you second drive is /dev/hdd, the you would create
a link like this:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
Now you can use /dev/cdrom1 where you want to specify the second CD ROM
drive.
