One way to confirm this is to look in /var/log/messages or the output of 
the dmesg command.  On my laptop, I get:

-----

hda: IBM-DJSA-220, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2502, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 39070080 sectors (20003 MB) w/1874KiB Cache, CHS=38760/16/63, UDMA(66)
  hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

Then, at that point, you probably want to link /dev/dvd with whichever 
IDE device it turns out to be - ls -s /dev/dvd /dev/hdc

You may or may not want to additionally link it in as /dev/cdrom1 as well.
