[root at backup ~]# ll /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 3. Nov 13:04 /dev/cdrom -> hda
[root at backup ~]# dmesg |grep hda
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x10c0-0x10c7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
hda: VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: ATAPI 1X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 32kB Cache, UDMA(33)
