I have reason to believe that the DVD drive is actually at /dev/scd0. Would I risk doing harm by changing hdc=noprobe to scd0=noprobe or sr0=noprobe? Also, I tried verifying the location of the DVD drive in /etc/fstab, but it's not a conventional fstab like I'm used to with the drive letters and such. It's what is called LVM, no?
