Indeed it isn't. It's the one after another, you'll have to take that 
into account.

As Told already, drive letters for HD and removables as HD are ruled by 
os2dasd.dmd + os2lvm.dmd whereas drive letters for CD/DVD drives/burners 
are ruled by os2cdrom.dmd . You can't combine these togheter, both *dmd 
systems are imcompatible, in respect to each other they are on different 
planets.
Mind the *dmd extension, mind the fact lvm has to write it's information 
onto the partition itself. Devices whereto lvm can't write it's 
information to are out of it's scope.

To acquiere a genuine insight on how os2dasd.dmd and os2cdrom.dmd are 
working already would help a lot, wouldn't you say so? :-)
