So, I installed it and rebooted. Easy enough. It's calling it hdd, instead of hdc. /dev/cdrom
is linked to /dev/hdc, so when I start vmware, it says unable to access /dev/cdrom, bacause that cdrom (hdc)
is no longer there. How do I unlink it, and link it back to /dev/hdd? It might not be a link issue, but...I'm thinking
it is for some reason.

Did you set the jumpers on the new cdrom to master or slave ?
Once you know what device your cdrom is you can 'ln -sf /dev/hdx /dev/cdrom'
You can alternately edit the VMware config file to point at the new
location of the cdrom.
