How to Mount a DVD-ROM Drive?

[fedora]

Similar problem here:
I have to take care that, whenever booting, a (written) cdrom is in the 
DVD-RW drive, in order for the drive to be recognized as such. 
Otherwise, the drive is not linked into /dev/xyz.

After that, however, no problems in reading/burning cdroms/dvds.

Device: 'LITE-ON, DVDRW SOHW-1633S'
