The default udev rules for CD/DVD devices usually pick this up, but you
could try creating a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules containing:

BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdX", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="dvd cdrom"

Replace "hdX" with the device name that you point your symlinks at,
which from your Subject: would appear to be "hda".
