   Please also look in /dev/cdroms/* as devfs has it
   (/usr/src/linux/Documentation/fs/devfs/*).

I just read about devfs.  I  suppose you suggest that checkiso (its name
has changed  lately) should  read from all  files in /dev/cdroms/  if it
finds that /dev/cdroms/ exists, right?

That is, doing something like:

if /dev/cdroms/ exists
   read from all files there
else if /dev/cdrom is readable
   read from there

Would that work?  I suppose I should give up with automatic recognition
od scsi cdroms (those in /dev/sr[0-9]*), what do you think?
