No, CD-ROM is
/dev/sr0Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!
(I'm over there too)
Only correct answer, I don't know what this whole letter business is... Dang kids
No, CD-ROM is
/cdromYou probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.
Debian is weird
Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn't include sound drivers... fun times!
I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it's been nice.
