So, what should the complete combination of fstab and links (if any) look like, if I *do* have two devices on the secondary IDE -- the Master is a DVD-ROM, and the Slave is a CD-RW. (..)

You have it exactly like I got it on both of my boxen. So /etc/fstab reads the following: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 (the rest, concerning HD, floppy, devpts, and stuff, is snipped!) Link it like that: # ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/dvd # ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom # ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrecorder In case you only got SCSI emulation for the cd-burner. OR: # ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd # ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom # ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder If you got SCSI emulation on both drives; NOTE that there is no difference in /etc/fstab, all this is done via the symlinks. DVD and CDROM are always linked to the same target, since the DVD drive replaces the CD-ROM (normally). cdrecorder, of course, is something different. Cheers ....
