I am trying to enable DMA on my burner/cdrom/dvd combo drive. I don't
have a /dev/dvd so I have just been mounting the dvd like so.
	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd

and I can play DVDs just fine. However, when I do a 
	/sbin/hdparm -d1 /mnt/dvd/

I get the following:
	/mnt/dvd/ not supported by hdparm

How do I get DMA working?
