Probably the easiest way would be to copy the first one and then edit it's
link to reflect the new entry in /dev.  You might also want to insure that
there's an appropriate sym link in /dev/ to the raw device (e.g. /dev/cdrom1
-> /dev/hdd or whatever is appropriate)

syntax:
ln -s /dev/raw_device /dev/sym_device
