Cannot mount CD drives with a CD-Writer present

[Net Llama!]

First, please fix your wordwrap to something in the vacinity of 72

Next, you should be mounting your CDROM drive as the same device as you
burn to it.  What does dmesg recognize the drive as?

BTW, /dev/cdrom* is not a real device, its symlink.
