Well, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able read the disc from the 
cdrw drive, but the cdrom drive is odd.  Works from fedora, but in Gentoo 
cycles through:  spin up, pause, spin up, forever.  Even ctrl-c didn't 
kill it, had to reboot:

arrakis ~ # 
arrakis ~ # mount /dev/cdrw1 /mnt/cdrw1
mount: block device /dev/cdrw1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
arrakis ~ # 
arrakis ~ # ll /mnt/cdrw1/
