unable to find the cdrom

| Is there utility for redhat linux 9 that can do a search for a hard drive
device such as the cdrom, my cdrom is detected as ide0 on dmesg but I am
unable to mount it with whatever command I use /dev/hda../dev/hda1....14
does nothing it keeps saying no such block device, I am wondering if there
is a utility that can ssearch the comp and possibly locate the real hda...
on which the cdrom is located
thanks

Where does symbolic link /dev/cdrom point? That's usually
the quickest way to see, _if_ it's right.
Do 'grep --context 3 hd /var/log/dmesg' (without the quote
marks). Or, look in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf for 'CDROM'.
Also, poke around in /proc in branches with names like 'bus'
and 'ide'.
Good luck.
