Looking at the devices list in the kernel documentation
(linux/Documentation/devices.txt), it appears that scd is another commonly
used name for sr. Specifically, this quote:
[11] 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.
Checking my /dev directory, i see that scd devices do exist, and do have
the proper device numbers. Do those work for you?
