Hi Pete,
I tried --cdrom, just forgot to include in original post;
While searching google, I saw a post where --block --short included cdrom
output.
[root@darkness ~]# ls -al /dev/sr*
ls: cannot access /dev/sr*: No such file or directory
[root@darkness ~]# ls /dev/s*
/dev/sda /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sg0 /dev/stderr
/dev/sda1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sg1 /dev/stdin
/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb3 /dev/snapshot /dev/stdout
[root@darkness ~]# hwinfo --cdrom
[root@darkness ~]#
thanks
