/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd-rules

and more importantly, /etc/udev/rules.d/README

you could also try... heh... rm -f /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrw /dev/dvd /dev/dvdrw

of course, that guarantees that NO ONE will ever be able to use the
CD/DVD drive again (unless/until they rebuild the device files)...  of
course, the system may create them again at startup, so YMMV...
