I don't know exactly how your drives are set up, but I'm guessing you have three IDE devices in your computer, your cd-rom being /dev/hdc. /dev/hdc is the actual device, while /dev/cdrom is there to make things easier for you, it's supposed to eliminate confusion as to which device is your cd-rom.

Does anyone know why I have this? (likely a silly question):
RomperRoom:/dev # ls -l cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Dec 5 11:03 cdrom -> hdc
I was having trouble accessing my CDRom as non-root, and it turns out that it was because the permissions on /dev/hdc weren't set correctly even though those for /dev/cdrom were.
thanks,
