Look for the devicename of your dvd device. It's something like
/dev/hdc if it's ide or /dev/sr0 for scsi. It should appear in
the output of 'dmesg'. Then link to that device. 
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd

And make sure to have proper access to the device. You need
write access to the device. chmod 666 /dev/hdc should help.
