/dev/hdb

This will give you read-only access to the standard ISO-format CD in that drive.

I suspect you were after the ability to do packet-writing to a rewritable CD 
(treating it like a hard disk), but AFAIK this isn't currently supported in 
Linux 2.6. See http://packet-cd.sourceforge.net/ for more details.
