Depends on it's being a master or a slave.
/dev/hda Primary Master
/dev/hdb Primary Slave
/dev/hdc Secondary Master
/dev/hdd Secondary Slave
Be sure to check your CD-ROM drive's settings so they don't conflict.
You will get all sorts of interesting results if you have two masters on
the same chain. Something else to check for is cable select. You can
determine if you are using cable select by looking for a small hole
along the cable. If you have a cable select cable, make sure you jumper
both your CD-ROM and your HDD as cable select.
