CD-ROM switched from SCSI to IDE, now...?

[Kendric Beachey]

I got a new CD-ROM drive today, to replace the one I fried yesterday.  Oops. 
Anyway, the old one was SCSI and Red Hat 6.0 detected it during the install and
set up everything that needed setting up.  Now that I've installed the new
drive, of course the old /dev/cdrom, a link to /dev/scd0, no longer works, so I
made a new one and linked it to /dev/hda1 (the CD-ROM drive is my only IDE
device (so far) and is the master device on the primary IDE controller).  My
system doesn't seem to think that's right, due to incorrect major or minor
number on the node.  Is there an mknod specialist out there who can walk me
through getting my new drive recognized?
