acd0c is the entire (atapi) cd-rom.  acd0a would be root, I
suppose.  I have never automounted my cd-rom drive, so I don't
know if acd0a=acd0c for this purpose, but ISTR trying acd0a
unsuccessfully for playing music CDs, while acd0c worked.

Using Google Groups I see posts referring to SCSI cd-rom drives
using /dev/cd0a and /dev/cd0c, so perhaps that's the significance
of the missing "a" at the front.
