If you have a newish home computer, it's probably /dev/hd? where ? is
"b", "c" or "d". Switch to the second console (Alt-F2) and run
`dmesg | more'. There should be a line like:
hdd: FX600T, ATAPI CDROM drive
which means the block device is "/dev/hdd".
For an older CD-ROM, such as a Sony CDU-33A, the block device is
something different (like /dev/sonycd in this case).
