No, CD-ROM is
/cdromYou probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).
When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.
Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn't include sound drivers... fun times!
I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it's been nice.
