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.
