You will probably have to manually change your links as well ...
let's say that the cdrom is primary slave (which is hdb) and the dvd is
secondary master (which is hdc)
so we would go to /dev and figure out where cdrom is pointing ... (I
want it to point to hdb in the test case)...
so the commands:
cd /dev
ls -al | grep cdrom
show this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 1 05:22 cdrom ->
/dev/hdc
so the name cdrom is pointing to the WRONG place (in my example ... I
want it to be hdb and the dvd to be hdc) ... so here is what I would do:
rm cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdb cdrom
ln -s /dev/hdc dvd
ln -s dvd cdrom1
(I added cdrom1 just in case something is not happy with the name dvd).
Now, I would need to create a directory called /mnt/dvd:
mkdir /mnt/dvd
then change the fstab (in my example) to look like this:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
You could also use
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
instead of /dev/dvd...(since we pointed both to /dev/hdc above)
The devices are:
Primary Master - hda
Primary Slave - hdb
Secondary Master - hdc
Secondary Slave - hdd
(if everything is IDE and not SCSI)
If you have an extra IDE controller card, or more than 2 IDE channels,
there can be more than 4 devices.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
