How about CD and scanners. Do I put sheets of paper with 1,2,3,4 in my
scanners at boot time ?

No, you have a config file which the daemon reads to figure out where to
locate the scanner. As far as CD's are concerned, I'd imagine there'd
be a default location where CD's would be mounted, and some kind of
override so that certain CD's (based on volume label or filesystem
serial number) would be mounted in special, CD-specific locations.
