New In my experience.....
/dev/hda is the hard drive. You know, where / and /home are.
/dev/cdrom or /cdrom are more typical of CD-type devices...Sometimes /dev/sd0, maybe?

New /dev/cdrom is usually a symlink.
It depends on what the block layer is presenting as as to what it needs to point to.

New VMWare...
/dev/sda(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) == near all hard drives, being SCSI and easier to emulate.

/dev/hda == the "ide" cdrom.
