After a few semi-random tries, and a bit more of googling of the Ubuntu users
list, it seems that if I add "ide_cd" and "sg" to /etc/modules, the appropriate
/dev/hdc and /dev/hdd files are created, and a symlink /etc/cdrom pointing to
/dev/hdc is also created. And with the addition of the appropriate entries for
/dev/cdrom and /dev/hdd to my /etc/fstab file, the 2 cd-rom drives work
properly, and Nautilus can write to the cd-rw drive.

After a few years of using Linux with various distro, I don't think I ever had
to manually add a kernel module for something as basic as a ide cdrom drive;
which tell me this could have been a bit more user friendly.
