That's not what I wrote the function for. So if you need that, use
something else, or add another return value. I say this because certain
things in debian-cd rely on this working properly, so I hope that nothing
will be messed with, since it may unknowingly affect debian-cd.

You are missing the point of my function. It is meant to test if we are
booting from a cdrom. Your check is something completely different. Might
be better to make a new test just for your purposes, rather than risk
messing up the current function.
