What if you have two CDROM's? I have my original CDROM + my CDRW:

gsa700:/home/dave# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord release 1.8a30 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jörg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities
page.
        0,0,0     0) 'BCD 48SB' ' CD-ROM         ' 'C2.4' Removable
CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) 'CREATIVE' 'CD-RW RW4224E   ' '1.36' Removable
CD-ROM
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

I changes /dev/cdrom to point to /dev/scd0 but how do I get at the CDRW
drive? I tried the obvious "/dev/scd1" in fstab but no go. What am I
missing?
