/dev/cdrom is just a useful shortcut to whatever you want the main cdrom
drive to be, various apps like xine default to looking for a /dev/cdrom
rather than guessing which /dev/hd? it is.

As for why they're flipping about between the two drives, are you using
devfs? Or is this between different installs?
