SubjectRe: name change for cd rom devices

MAKEDEV has been calling the CD ROM devices /dev/scd since at least
MAKEDEV 2.2 1995/05/21. The name most people see is /dev/scd, and
given that it's been that way for at least 2 years, I think changing
the kernel message probably has the least impact.

I'd just like to see the two usages made consistent.

(Aside - Yes, I know this will potentially raise all the usual issues
about device numbering and naming consistency, making /dev part of
procfs, etc. I apologize for opening that can of worms.)

Larry
