The SCSI cd devices might be either /dev/scdX or /dev/srX. I believe
one of the recent distributions didn't add the /dev/srX devices.
If you don't have a device like /dev/scdX or /dev/srX you might
try:

  cd /dev
  ./MAKEDEV scd

-OR-

  cd /dev
  ./MAKEDEV sr

(You've probably done the install right.)
