So if the DVD-ROM device isn't /dev/dvd , can you see what name it is assigned?

When you attach (or remove) the DVD-ROm device, you may see messages on the console. Or, type:

Code:
dmesg | tail

to review the last 10 entries.

Normally the first usb storage device will be /dev/sda
The second device will be /dev/sdb
The third device will be /dev/sdc

etc.

On my Debian PC, the DVD-ROM device is registered as /dev/sr0. That does not mean to say that it will be the same on a Debian sheeva though, even if it is likely!
