My dvd is the master on the second ide device (ide1). The settings
file for /dev/hdc shows dma off, and I think my dvd is /dev/hdc, though
in fstab it is listed as /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 which is linked to
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd. I am confused as to how/where
the cdrom device actually gets linked to /dev/hdc, but it must be
it because I only have 2 other drives, and they are hda and hdb.

So the next question is, how to I change the settings file for /dev/hdc.
It is not an editable file.
