Which shows that somehow things have become exactly backwards. The 
Apple CD-ROM is being mapped as a SCSI, /dev/scd0, while the CD-RW is 
marked as an IDE, /dev/hdg. I don't have any idea how that happened but 
at this point I'd look for symlinks to scd0 and hdg in the /dev 
directory and reverse them.
