Right.  I was replying to:

Doug has it backwards.  _All_ systems should have /dev/scd0, but _may_ not
have /dev/dvd1.

I think the intent was that multiple drives would be numbered 0-n or maybe
1-n, but the first should still also be "dvd" or "cdrom".  But afaict,
neither Douglas nor Rod actually has multiple drives.  After all, if you
have multiple physical devices, you already know you're likely to have to
tell the system which one to use, but if you only have one, everythin
should be able to find it.
