at least on elder systems i've seen the alternative dev-entries /dev/sr<n>;
the canonical[0] source[1] says:
"11 char Raw keyboard device
0 = /dev/kbd Raw keyboard device
The raw keyboard device is used on Linux/SPARC only.
block SCSI CD-ROM devices
0 = /dev/sr0 First SCSI CD-ROM
1 = /dev/sr1 Second SCSI CD-ROM
...
The prefix /dev/scd instead of /dev/sr has been used
as well, and might make more sense."
so go and look out for a block device with major 11 and minor 0, whatever
it's called :-)
